"The specified Android SDK Build Tools version (26.0.0) is ignored..."

Question

In Android Studio 3, I'm seeing this issue:

The specified Android SDK Build Tools version (26.0.0) is ignored, as it is below the minimum supported version (26.0.2) for Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.0.

Android SDK Build Tools 26.0.2 will be used.

To suppress this warning, remove "buildToolsVersion '26.0.0'" from your build.gradle file, as each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools.

The problem is that because these are third-party/vendor modules that have buildToolsVersion '26.0.0', I can't modify their build.gradle without forking each submodule.

Is there a way to set a global buildToolsVersion that will override all the sub build.gradles?

Answer 1

Here if you are referring to my previous answers Here is an Update. 1. Compile would be removed from the dependencies after 2018.

a new version build Gradle is available.

Use the above-noted stuff it will help you to resolve the errors. It is needed for the developers who are working after March 2018. Also, maven update might be needed. All above answers will not work on the Android Studio 3.1. Hence Above code block is needed to be changed if you are using 3.1. See also I replaced compile by implementation.

Answer 2

Open app/build.gradle file

Change buildToolsVersion to buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"

change compile 'com.android.support:appcompat to compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
