Answer 3

I am using Ubuntu ,and I had the same issue. The accepted answer did not work for my version of Android Studio (2.3.3).

I had to import an Eclipse webapp project for Android SDK 15, and did receive the same message. The solution that worked for me was the following:

1. Download the correct version of the Android SDK (version 15 in my case)
2. Use the name of the directory folder (in my case "android-15" stored in my home folder at "~/[user_xxx]/Android/Sdk/platforms/".
3. Edit the line in the gradle script in my case to : compileSdkVersion 'android-15'

Answer 4

You can create a new project and see what's written in this project's 'build.gradle'.For example it is 'compileSdkVersion 25',then change your target project to 'compileSdkVersion 23'.

Answer 5

I got this error when trying to build a project on Windows that was originally built on Ubuntu. If you're not sure which build.gradle file is causing it and the project has multiple modules, do a project search for "compileSdkVersion."

Windows expects: compileSdkVersion 'Google Apis:Google Apis:23'

Ubuntu expects: compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Google APIs:23"

I got this error too, when i imported eclipse project to android studio. So i just did a little search "Edit -> Find -> Find in path" for "APIs 23" And i did replace (compileSdkVersion 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:23') in "Build.gradle" withe (compileSdkVersion 24). I think it should works. Good luck
