appcompat-v7:21.0.0': No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:actionModeShareDrawable'

Question

When attempting to use the latest appcompat-v7 support library in my project, I get the following error:

/Users/greg/dev/mobile/android_project/app/build/int         


        

Answer 1

In Android Studio I was trying to set the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 19.

My solution was to replace at the bottom of build.gradle, from this:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
}

To the older version of the appcompat library:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'
}
