Failed to build project with Android studio

Question

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error with AndroidStudio?

Execution failed for task ':sampleapp:preBuild'. > Build Tools Revision 19.0.0+ is required. 

I have installed Android Build-tools 19.0.1 from the Android SDK manager

Answer 1

Check all your build.gradle files whether they are using the 19.0.x version or not.

buildToolsVersion will be defined under the android tag inside the build.gradle file, like this:

android {      compileSdkVersion 19      buildToolsVersion '19.0.3'       // Other Configuration } 

You can find a list of versions for the Android Build Tools here as well as in the SDK Manager.

Answer 2

Go to Window->Android SDK Manager and run it

You will see Android Build-Tools version installed...

Change build.gradle to reflect the installed version of build tools

This worked for me

OR

Install the version which is shown in error
