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

My problem was that I had other libraries that my project referenced and those libraries had another version of appcompat referenced. This is what I did to resolve the issue:

(You should back up your project before doing this)

1) I deleted all the appcompat layout folders (ex: /res/layout-v11).

2) Solved the problems that arose from that, usually an error in menu.xml

3) Back to main project and add appcompat library, clean, and everything works!
