Got an error while building a project in new workspace

Question

Am new for android development. I tried to create a new workspace with Target SDK as API 21 and Compiled with API 19. I have installed the sdk of API19 and 20 and not the Android5. I created a new workspace and created a new project in which I ended up with the below error while compiling the project after creating it. Can anyone help me how to get rid of this?

Answer 1

1. Update the project.properties file of appcompat v7, which has:target=android-19 to target=android-21

2. Also update google play services library (by update I mean update it in SDK Manager and re-import etc)
