"No resource found" errors when building app

Question

I'd like to migrate my Eclipse project to Android Studio. I used to build the project with minSdkVersion=8, but I want to add new functionality that requires minSdkVersion 10.

I'm running Android Studio 1.1.0. After importing the Eclipse project ("Import project" on the main AS screen), I go to the "Project Structure" window, select the "Flavors" tab, and specify API 10 (Gingerbread) for min sdk and target sdk. When I rebuild the project, I get over 100 errors in the console that look like this:

Any ideas why I am getting these errors? How to fix this?

Thanks! Tom

Answer 1

The cause - and solution - to the problem is due to incompatibility with between my specified minSdkVersion and the app-compat library, as described here.

Answer 2

Just change the minSdkVersion to 'XX' sync the gradle. The concept is better explained in the below link.

compileSdkVersion 23
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 23
