error when i import android eclipse project in Android Studio

Hello guys i'm gald to be here, please i have that error, can you help me?
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 9 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in library [com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1] C:\Users\Khalil\StudioProjects\Android eBook Template\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services\10.2.1\AndroidManifest.xml
Suggestion: use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms.play_services" to force usage
what i can do?

In your Manifest.xml file, update uses-sdk to version 14.

First Remove the google play library(in this case com.google.android.gms.play_services), then open manifests --> AndroidManifest.xml
and change min sdk version to 14
This Line:- android:minSdkVersion="14"
Also Change it in your build.gradle of app..
under the defaultConfig
Hope it helps!!

Error on play my app from developer.android

The fail text is:

Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8 cannot be smaller than version 9 declared in library [com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.1.0] C:\Users\Spluaks\AndroidStudioProjects\HolaMundo\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services-appindexing\8.1.0\AndroidManifest.xml
Suggestion: use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms.appindexing" to force usage
Someone know?

Change your SDK minSdkVersion 8 to 9 !! nothing else

The problem is com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.1.0 uses minimum sdk to 9, but you app is using minimum sdk 8.
*Solution: *
Go to your /app/build.gradle and change minSdkVersion to 9.

Minimum sdk for Facebook sdk

I had the common errors like when trying to setup the fb sdk such as ANDROID_BUILD_SDK_TOOLS ERROR and getbootclasspath() method error
but some of the solutions that people posted on SO has the minimum sdk as 14, instead of 9 (which is shown on the fb's guide). Now in my app's build.gradle file, if I use minSdkVersion 9 instead of 14, it wont work and it will say:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 9 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in library
I have researched, but couldn't find the solution for using 9 because I want to support the app on Gingerbread.

If anyone has this kind of error
"uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 14 cannot be smaller than version 15"
Just downgrade FacebookSDK to 4.5.0
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.5.0'

nvm I solved it. All I had to do was put this in the app's manifest file:
> <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="22" android:minSdkVersion="9"
> tools:overrideLibrary="com.facebook"/>

Android Studio: Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8

I recently trying to move the project to Android Studio. I exporting the APK due to this error
Execution failed for task ':app:processReleaseManifest'.
Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8 cannot be smaller than version 9 declared in library com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.71
I have checked my manifest file but it was 9 instead of 8... What does that refering to... do I need to update anything... Note: I initially use eclipse and moving toward Android Studio.

This may help.
modify your minSdkVersion to 9 in your build.gradle
or you can use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms" in uses-sdk tag of your menifest.

How to change the Android Studio Project minSDK version?

I had a recurring error that I wasnt sure how to correct. My android studio was returning the an error indicating that my minSdk version was 11 and had to 14 in order to use the NoTitleBar parent reference in styles.xml. My AndroidManifest had the tag <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/> but the error would not go away. I re-cleaned the project and tried to build again - same error.
Android Studio version: 0.8.6
OS: Win8.1

In app > build.gradle file try to modify this section
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 11
}
Best regards

Although I had the minSdk set in the manifest the project level sdk was overriding this or at least causing a collision. I located this way: File -> Project Structure -> App -> Flavors -> Change the minSdk version to whatever you need (preferably to match whats in the manifest if its declared - otherwise remove it from there). Hope this helps.
As a note I also next ran into this error I have not resolved yet:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
