Update android SDK : install latest platform to implement new APIs such as “ShortcutManager”

问题

Here i am performing demo for Android Shortcuts introduces in android nougat App Shortcuts

I have used following code to create app shortcut

ShortcutManager shortcutManager;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    shortcutManager = getSystemService(ShortcutManager.class);
    ShortcutInfo shortcut;
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1) {
        shortcut = new ShortcutInfo.Builder(this, "second_shortcut")
                .setShortLabel(getString(R.string.str_shortcut_two))
                .setLongLabel(getString(R.string.str_shortcut_two_desc))
                .setIcon(Icon.createWithResource(this, R.mipmap.ic_launcher))
                .setIntent(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                            Uri.parse("https://www.google.co.in")))
                .build();
        shortcutManager.setDynamicShortcuts(Arrays.asList(shortcut));
    }
}

But here i am getting compile time error cannot resolve symbol ShortcutManager.

Here is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 24
        ...
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
}

You need to update your dependency because ShortcutManager is added in API 25 as mentioned here so you should update/install the below components for API 25

Build-Tools
Install API 25 platform
Android Support Respository
SDK Tools
SDK Platform Tools

and make the necessary changes in your build-gradle file as show in the image too :

Update your following project’s values to 25

compileSdkVersion
buildToolsVersion

Follow the link to see the features updates provided in API 25 (v7.1)

And eventually it will look this, with succesful build using ShortcutManager

There are some other crucial packages you might want to update too

USB drivers : For USB device debugging
Play service : For latest APIs added in Google maps,google+ etc
System images : To practice with latest AVD devices
Android Support Repository : Support libraries for android devices,TV etc
Google Repository : For features Firebase, Google Maps, Games achievements and leaderboards
