在将Google Play服务位置添加为依赖关系后找不到资源标识符

Question

Here is what my build.gradle file looks like right now. Please let me know if there any other information that I can furnish. The issue occurs after I add the last line in the dependencies. I have tried adding google-play-services:8.4.0 which fails as well.

I have tried older versions such as 8.1.0 also. Any suggestions welcome.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 16
    buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.devpactapp"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    repositories {
        flatDir {
            dirs 'aars'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'
    compile 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-services-android-sdk:2.0.3'
    compile 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-notifications-handler:1.0.1@jar'
    compile 'com.microsoft.azure.android:azure-storage-android:0.6.0@aar'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
}

Here is the error log:

Answer 1

The issue was with the compileSdkVersion. Changing that to 23 (the latest) seemed to do the trick.

Not connected to the above issue, I also changed the targetSdkVersion to 23 (latest) as targeting devices that have API level less than that didn't quite make sense.
