Android Appcompat library giving error at compile time

Question

I have recently upgraded my Android SDK to 6.0, and imported the new v7 appcompat library in my workspace. But the appcompat lib shows error in values-v21 folder, styles_base.xml file. Error is as follows : error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.ActionButton'.

What can be done to solve this error?

Answer 1

That means you have to upgrade your compileSdkVersion in the build.gradle file. Assuming you have imported the v23.0.0 release of AppCompat, your build file should be something like:

android
    compileSdkVersion 23 
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "your.id"
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 23 
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        ....
    }
}
