Solution if you are using gradle :

android {
  compileSdkVersion 22
  buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
[...]
}

If you are using an android projet in Eclipse : upgrade the build tools version to 22.0.1 in the SDK manager.

Cause of the problem :

/Users/m./Android_SDK/build-tools/21.1.2 should match /Users/m./Android_SDK/platforms/android-22

I had the same problem after I downloaded android SDK platform 22. Upgrading the build tools to 22.0.1 fixed it.
