So I know that many other people had this problem, but mine is a little different. I've tried running my app on an LG G2 with Android 4.4.4, and a Note 3 with Android 4.4.2, but neither worked. I have installed the API 18, 19, and 20 SDKs.

You can't test an Android-L app on a device with lower API.
Take a look here.
You need to make sure your dependencies are configured targeting the same sdk (also make sure the sdk is supported for the dependency).
As of version .11, the gradle plugin now uses the new manifest merger tool by default which you can use to avoid conflicting configurations when merging manifests from your dependencies while building by specifying <uses-sdk tools:node="replace" /> in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

I was having a similar issue but my device sdk was 19 and it was looking for it to be 20. I changed the sdk from the file > Project Structure > SDK to 19 also I noticed when I was running it had the wear value selected in the top toolbar so I switched that to mobile and Voila.

I am new to android things. Recently I tried to build an android things app on android studio 2.3.3 with 25 SDK.
But when I include the android things support library into the dependency of app module build.gradle file and sync with latest gradle changes,it gives me the below error :
"Install repository then Sync"
Plz Someone help me.
You don't need to connect Raspberry Pi to develop a Android Things project.
There are three points which you have to keep in mind while developing for Android Things:
Update your SDK tools to version 25.0.3 or higher.
Update your SDK with Android 8.0 (API 26) or higher.
In order to access new APIs for Things, you must create a project or modify an existing project that targets Android 8.0 (API level 26) or higher.
Add the library.
In your case, you need to install the latest bulid tools, and repositories to develop an Android Things Project.
Your build.gradle should look like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.android.androidthings.id"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
provided 'com.google.android.things:androidthings:0.3-devpreview'
}
I'll start from what I want to achieve: building the googlecast-manager example provided here: https://github.com/googlecast/GameManagerSamples
I followed instructions here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_sender
So first I downloaded from github the project, then with the Android SDK Manager I downloaded Android Support Libraries and Google play Services. Then in my project, I went to "Open Modules Setting->Add" then went to "Android SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat" and added it.
Then first step to ensure it's working is to build it. So I right clicked on appcompat->"Compile Module Appcompat" but it fails with 2 errors:
Error:(20, -1) android-apt-compiler: [appcompat] D:\Android
SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v23\styles_base.xml:20:
error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that
matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.
Error:(19, -1) android-apt-compiler: [appcompat] D:\Android
SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v23\styles_base_text.xml:19:
error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that
matches the given name
'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.
Doing the same for Google Play works like a charm.
I've tried to find videos/other similar issues but it's either too complicated or not my problem.
Here is the AndroidManifest.xml of appcompat:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="android.support.v7.appcompat">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>
<application />
Here is what is installed from the Android SDK Manager:
I also encountered the same problem and now have fixed it. What you just have to do is
Inside your Android Studio
press Shift button two times, a search box will appear type build.gradle
choose build.gradle module:app from the suggestion.
major version of compileSdkVersion and support libraries under dependencies should be same as following code depict.
Inside Eclipse
find build.gradle module:app and do the same.
Note: download and install properly the latest API which is now API 23.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.inzi.app"
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
}
I believe you should upgrade your compileSdkVersion. Check your build.grade file, should be something like:
android {
compileSdkVersion 23 // <- here
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0" // <- here
defaultConfig {
applicationId "your.id"
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 23 // <- and maybe here
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
....
}
}
Of course you will need to download the newest Android SDK and build tools (and whatever else you need) from the SDK Manager.
If you are working in Eclipse do the following:
In your AndroidManifest.xml file change android:targetSdkVersion to 23
Open Project settings (ALT + Enter while focused in Project Explorer)
Go to Android tab and in Project Build Target section mark Android 6.0
Clean and build your project
NOTE: when you do this have in mind that Android OS would treat your app as if it was designed to work on Android M. So for example if you use some dangerous permissions you should add routines to check then on runtime.
You have to update your SDK to the API 23 that is either not downloaded or not installed properly.
In your build.gradle set
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
targetSdkVersion 23
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
I actually found the answer for my problem and the person above was right. The Module SDK set to compile the module was 22.0 and not 23.0. To fix that I did the following.
Right click on appcompat: "Open Module Setting -> Modules SDK": New. I Chose the folder containing the whole Android SDK and chose the last Android (e.g. 6.0) with the last Module SDK 23.0.
Either revert to appcompact-v22 or update to android api v23
You have to update your SDK to the API 23 that is either not downloaded or not installed properly.
Make sure your compileSdkVersion and dependencies version should be same.
I was having problem with new appcompat V-23 as my target sdk is 21. So I did following two steps and it works perfectly for me..
1) Delete the values-23 folder in res folder.
2) I was getting error on the src folder as well, so commented the only line inside main() of snippet.java as we do not require it.
Then add this project as library to your project.. Hope it helps.
I resolved like below
android {
compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Google APIs:21"
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
}
replaced the above dependencies with below...
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
}
To correct this error in android studio procceded like this :
i went to sdk manager and i downloaded and updated all packages of android api 23
file => project structure and i changed compile sdk version from 21 to 23 and build tools version from 21 to 23
The problem generally occurs due to version issues. The following dependencies and compilesdkversion Worked for me:-
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE-FIREBASE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
productFlavors {
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:+'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:23.0.+'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.2.4+'
}
The answer #31 & #11 in this discussion can solve this issue:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=183122
My issue was, one of my un-used dependencies was using sdk-23 version. So after removing those un-used dependencies it worked like a charm.
SOLUTION
In build.gradle file, I set both minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 19 (my Android device's API level).
Also, compileSdkVersion's value must be less than your device's level API.
Issue was:
I cannot install my app I developed in Android Studio, in my Android device (LG G3).
When I try to install my app, this window comes.
When I click OK, the log outputs this.
This was my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 'android-L'
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "*AppID*"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 'L'
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
What I've tried to do:
1. Modify build.gradle to (Changed compileSdkVersion's value to 15):
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 15
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "*AppID*"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 'L'
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
2. Clean the project: i.imgur.com/lbdeXGe.png.
Take a look at Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] Android-L
Recently there was a post here regarding the L SDK's incompatibility with prior versions of Android. I've been digging in
AOSP repositories for quite a few hours now, and determined that the
tools behave this way because they are designed to treat preview
platforms differently. If you compile against a preview SDK
(android-L), the build tools will lock minSdkVersion and
targetSdkVersion to that same API level. This results in the produced
application being unable to be installed on devices running older
releases of Android, even if your application isn't doing anything
specific to L. To make matters worse, the new support libs (CardView,
RecyclerView, Palette, etc.) are also locked into the L API level,
even though--according to their repository names--they should work on
API level 7 just fine (and they do!).
The error means your device has an Android version that is less than your specified minSdkVersion. Set the minSdkVersion to the device's version. If that's not possible, there's really nothing you can do other than using a newer device.
Edit:
Now seeing userM1433372's answer ... That should be the actual issue. Thought you already tried a different SDK version, but you only changed compileSdkVersion to 15 without changing targetSdkVersion! I would suggest setting both targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion to 19 (which is the latest non-preview-version).
I followed the instructions at this link to create a simple mobile/wearable app in Android Studio. However, upon trying to run it I am getting the error "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]". My problem seems to be like the one asked at this link, however unlike that user the reddit post that is linked to didn't contain any information that helped me (it basically suggested to add < uses-sdk tools:node="replace" /> to the android manifest, but android studio didn't like the tools thing." My build.gradle files are exactly the same as those at the above link. I just updated Android Studio today (0.8.2) and have installed all necessary SDK's. Many people are getting this error but mine is unique in that I'm targeting the Wear stuff and not concerned with Android L. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
I believe I have the answer here. Basically instead of deploying to the phone like the instructions say to, you have to enable bluetooth debugging and deploy directly to the watch.
Do those changes in build.gradle file in the wear module
compileSdkVersion 20
targetSdkVersion 20
So the final wear/build.gradle content will be:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "your package name"
minSdkVersion 20
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:+'
}
I got this Froyo (2.2) device that I am using to make an app.
When I try to run the app directly to the device it shows an error saying
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.example.HelloWorldProject
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
and in another window there's an error saying
Unable to attach test reporter to test framework or test framework quit unexpectedly
What seem to make the said errors?
EDIT:
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.helloworld"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk

android:targetSdkVersion="17"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"

</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
After I changed
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.bocheng.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 'L' #change this to 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
in build.gradle file.
it works
This error
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
Means that you're trying to install an app that has a higher minSdkVersion specified in its manifest than the device's API level. Change that number to 8 and it should work. I'm not sure about the other error, but it may be related to this one.
Besides checking the right minSdkVersion in build.gradle, make sure you have installed all necessary tools and correct SDK Platform for your preferred Android Version in SDK Manager. In Android Studio klick on Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager. Then install at minimum (for Android 2.2 without emulator):
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
Android SDK Build-tools (latest)
Android 2.2 (API 8)
SDK Platform
Google APIs
This is what worked for me.
Make sure you don't have a minSdkVersion set in your build.gradle with a value higher than 8. If you don't specify it at all, it's supposed to use the value in your AndroidManfiest.xml, which seems to already be properly set.
Just removing uses-sdk tag works for me for such problems.
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] basically means that the installation has failed due to the target location (AVD/Device) having an older SDK version than the targetSdkVersion specified in your app.
N/B Froyo 2.2 API 8
To fix this simply change
targetSdkVersion="17" to targetSdkVersion="8"
cheers.
Make Sure the Select Run/Debug Configuration is wear or mobile as per your installation in android studio...
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
For Sumsung note3 I just edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following code:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17"/>
In your manifest file package attribute is set to com.test.helloworld however your activity class is under different package. Change your MyActivity class package to com.example.helloworld
This is because you mobile has older sdk version than your application..!!!
It means your application need sdk version suppose Lollipop but you mobile has version kitkat.
Fix your gradle file the following way
defaultConfig {
applicationId "package.com.app"
minSdkVersion 8 //this should be lower than your device
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
In android studio: reduce minSDKversion. It will work...
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "healthcare.acceliant.trianz.com.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
}
I fixed this problem.The device system version is older then the sdk minSdkVersion。
I just modified the minSdkVersion from android_L to 19
to target my nexus 4.4.4.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
android {
**compileSdkVersion 'android-L'** modified to 19
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.antwei.uiframework.ui"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 'L'
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
**compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.+'** modified to compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
}
how to modified the value by ide.
select file->Project Structure -> Facets -> android-gradle and then modified the compile Sdk Version from android_L to 19
sorry I don't have enough reputation to add pictures
Maybe go to File>Project Structure > Modules and Change your Source Compability to a lower version before Ive done this, Ive changed in build.gradle
mindSdk and tragetSdk from 31 to 30.
Now I can use the Emulator without problems
Change file AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19"/>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/>
