No resource found that matches the given name (at 'cardBackgroundColor' with value '?android:attr/colorBackgroundFloating')

Question

I am getting these two error messages when trying to compile:

/Users/dericw/coding/myApplication/lfdate/android/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/cardview-v7/23.2.1/res/values-v23/values-v23.xml Error:(3, 5) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'cardBackgroundColor' with value '?android:attr/colorBackgroundFloating'). Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'. > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Users/dericw/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/23.0.2/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 1 

Android Studio then opens up v23/values-23.xml with this style:

    <style name="CardView" parent="Base.CardView">         <item name="cardBackgroundColor">?android:attr/colorBackgroundFloating</item>     </style> 

But I don't have that defined anywhere in my app. It is a generated file that is giving me the error. I am pretty stumped on how to fix this issue? Has anyone every encountered this before? How do I fix this?

Answer 1

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+' needs V-23

Change the facebook version SDK to 4.8.0 then it won't use that resource file. Then your code will be up & running/
