Android Studio与Android SDK相关的多个错误

Question

I got Android Studio to begin to learn and develop Android applications and it worked perfectly fine at first. I made a hello world application then Android Studio said something about how I should update some android sdk related thing and I let it do that. Once it completed downloading that update, everything stopped working. Now there is several errors when trying to build any Android project.

Here are some of the errors. MusicPlayer is just the android project. Also, these are errors that come up after making a fresh new project with just a main activity and no cod changes. NOTE: I have already tried completely re installing the Android SDK.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

Answer 1

Your project uses API level 21 exclusive features, eg material design styles in values-v21 but the project is at the same time only compiled with android-sdk-windows\\platforms\\android-20\\android.jar - the prior version, that did not know about material design.

To fix that, up the compileSdkVersion (and probably targetSdkVersion ) in your build.gradle file to 21.
