Answer 1

You can modified your build.gradle

According to me:

modified the minSdkVersion low.

defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myapplication1"
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

Answer 2

-Go to built.gradle(module:app) inside gradle scripts

-Check the SDK or API version of the virtual device or the real device that you
are using

-set the the minSdkVersion to be less than or equal to that of your devices API/SDK version
