You are using
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
This library in your SDK Manager is resolved with com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4 (pay attention if you want to use the latest version you have to add the google maven repo).
This dependency has a minSdk =14 and you can't use a minSdk=9.
You have to change
minSdkVersion 9
with
minSdkVersion 14
Also, since you will have a dependency with the latest support libraries you have to change the API used to compile. Use:
compileSdkVersion 26

Android: Standard suggested dependencies give Gradle sync error. Failed to resolve: com.android.support:wear:24.0.0 [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
When using compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.0.4' I get the error below, but I am not using 26.0.0
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm developing a music application for both mobile & wear. I've completed building the base of the application on mobile, and now I want to start the wearable (2.0) part. I tried following the tutorial on the Android Developer site, but even following the base directions gives me a Gradle sync error. I tried adjusting the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion both to 24, which I use for my mobile gradle scrip. It didn't make a difference however.
This is the instruction mentioned:
In the build.gradle file for the Wear module:
>> In the android section, confirm that the compileSdkVersion is set to 25.
>> In the android section, confirm that the targetSdkVersion is set to 25.
Update the dependencies section as follows (requires the latest version of the Google Repository):
compile 'com.android.support:wear:26.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.0.3'
provided 'com.google.android.wearable:wearable:2.0.3'
.
Clicking on "install repository and sync project" has no effect.
This is the build.gradle file for the Wear module.
android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "be.ehb.dt.finalwork_lievenluyckx_v001"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 24
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:wear:24.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.0.3'
provided 'com.google.android.wearable:wearable:2.0.3'
}
I'm really new to Android, and I don't really understand what is going wrong here. Any help is appreciated, even if it isn't a direct solution to the issue!

Edited: After trial-error,solution finally was found:
In build.gradle file -> allprojects, within repositories,code below should be added...
1) For the Android Gradle plugin revision 2.3.3 with Gradle 3.3 (Android Studio 2.3.3)
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
}
2) For the Android Gradle plugin revision 3.0.0 with Gradle 4.1(Android Studio 3.0.0)
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
}
For more here: When using compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.0.4' I get the error below, but I am not using 26.0.0

Change your gradle to:
android {

defaultConfig {
applicationId "be.ehb.dt.finalwork_lievenluyckx_v001"
minSdkVersion 21

Error on Android app Azure dependency gradle build

I am getting the following error on Android Studio 2.3.3 at Gradle sync.:
"`Error:Module 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-android:3.3.0' depends on one or more Android Libraries but is a jar."
The error disappears if I use
compile 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-android:3.1.0'
instead of
compile 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-android:3.3.0'
but i don't want to use an outdated version.
build.gradle file is:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.my_software.myapp"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 25
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-project.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:11.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:11.0.1'
//FOR microsoft Azure
compile 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-android:3.3.0'
}
TEMPORARY SOLUTION:
compile('com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-android:3.3.0#aar'‌​)
(add #aar at the end).

I reviewed the source code of azure-mobile-apps-android-client on GitHub, and the difference of the build.gradle between 3.1.0 and 3.3.0 is that the version 3.3.0 required the dependency com.android.support:customtabs:23.0.1, but version 3.1.0 not. So you need to downgrade the compileSdkVersion & targetSdkVersion value from 25 to 23 to support the required Android library to resolve it, due to com.android.support:customtabs:23.0.1 is belong to Android API 23.

Problems importing an Eclipse project into Android Studio

I created my first Android app 2 years ago in Eclipse and now I have some time to improve it. I do not have Eclipse installed anymore, so I decided to import the project into Android Studio.
But now I am running into several problems:
Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in library [com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.0]
So in the build.gradle I changed it to 14. Then I got the next error
Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Spinner.Underlined'.
So therefor I changed the compileSdkVersion and the targetSdkVersion to 25 (correct me if it's wrong). And I changed
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
into
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.2.0'
Now I could build my project. But when I tried to run my app, after more then 5 minutes(!) I got the next error :
Error:The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.
Learn how to resolve this issue at https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
So then I added
multiDexEnabled true
and
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
and
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
to the manifest file.
My build.gradle now looks like this
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "<<myApplicationId>>"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 25
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
compile files('libs/AppFireworks.jar')
compile files('libs/fcvtgzwtzuliivdcu.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}
But now I got the following pop-up and errors
Instant Run does not support deploying build variants with multidex enabled, to a target with API level 20 or below. To use Instant Run with a multidex enabled build variant, deploy to a target with API level 21 or higher.
Error:UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:
Error:java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
What have I done wrong? Do I have to change the minSdkVersion to 21? I want to be able to run my app on Android 4.x. I could when I was developing in Eclipse. So far switching from Eclipse to Andriod Studio is going from bad to worse. :-(

you are compiling using compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
play service is itself is a large library. You should not use + which implies all available version to compile
Rather use a specific version of play services or break down the library and use specific services like location,maps etc.
Also u can use dexOptions to increase ur memory usage during compilation
try changing your gradle file to:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "<<myApplicationId>>"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 25
multiDexEnabled true
}
dexOptions {
incremental true
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:9.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:9.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.1'
compile files('libs/AppFireworks.jar')
compile files('libs/fcvtgzwtzuliivdcu.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

Android studio importing in gradle issue

I am new to Android Studio and was just trying to import my eclipse project. i am trying to resolve this issue for quite a while now but unable to.
I have a mainactivity project which uses mmany other libraries staggeredgridview, devsmart, google maps and appcompactv7. I am getting following 2 errors.
Note: mainactivity project is the one which i am working on and uses other external libraries.

Just edit minsdk of your build.gradle of mainactivity to 9 :
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.staggeredgridviewdemo"
minSdkVersion 9 // changed line
targetSdkVersion 16
}
Note : Also did the same for other libs if there minsdk is small then 9

Please open your manifest file and write the bellow code it will work
<uses-sdk tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms"/>
and add the list of libraries for uses-skd separated by comma

Go to all the manifest files or build.gradle files of all the projects and make the minSDKversions the same.8 for instance.
