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

What I recomend is: (This works to me after many days with errors)

-Make sure that you have downloaded:

- the Lastest SDK Platform from the latest Android version
- Android Suppor Librarie and Repository from EXTRAS 

-Redowload the ADT

-Make a security copy of your project.

-You must have the ADT, the workspace and the project that we will import in the same disk (e.g. C:/)

1. Now delete the app compat and your project.

2. In eclipse: File > Import > Android existing project > Next > Browse (The folder where you have your ADT)/sdk/extras/android/v7/appcompat > Import > Finish

3. Now in the eclipse Package Explorer: android-support-v7-appcompat/libs/ Make on the two JARS: Right click > Build Path > Add to Build Path

4. Right click on libs/ folder > Buil Path > Configure Build Path and check this two JARS > OK

5. On the upper eclipse bar > Project > Clean

6. Import your project > File > Import > Browse your project > Finish

7. Now, Right click on the projectfile and android-support-v7-appcompat > Properties > Android > And select the latest API that appears > OK

8. Right click on the projectfile > Properties > Android > Add > android-support-v7-appcompat

9. On the upper eclipse bar > Project > Clean

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

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.+'
}

Answer 4

This is likely because you haven't set your compileSdkVersion to 21 in your build.gradle file. You also probably want to change your targetSdkVersion to 21.

android {
    //...
    compileSdkVersion 21

    defaultConfig {
        targetSdkVersion 21
    }
    //...
}

This requires you to have downloaded the latest SDK updates to begin with.

Once you've downloaded all the updates (don't forget to also update the Android Support Library/Repository, too!) and updated your compileSdkVersion, re-sync your Gradle project.

Edit: For Eclipse or general IntelliJ users

See reVerse's answer. He has a very thorough walk through!

Upgrading to latest gradle plugin solve my problem :

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.13.+'
