Answer 1

Try this, it resolved my issue:

compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0') {
        exclude module: 'support-v4' }
compile ('com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.0') {
        exclude module: 'support-v4' }
compile ('com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.2.0') {
        exclude module: 'support-v4' }
compile ('com.android.support:design:22.2.0') {
        exclude module: 'support-v4' }
// and exclude support-v4 from other dependencies as well that might include it
// finally add it, but avoid version 22.2.0...
compile ('com.android.support:support-v4:22.1.1')

There is no need to manually add the support-v4 library to your libs directory, the last import ensures that the right version is included in your project.

BTW all of this workaround is not your fault, blame others :)
