Upgraded to AppCompat v22.1.0 and now getting "removing attribute" error

Question

I've just upgraded my app to use AppCompat v22.1.0 and I'm getting the following exception from the AppCompat layout XML file:

removing attribute http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:layout_marginEnd
    from <ImageView>
removing attribute http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:textAlignment
    from <android.support.v7.internal.widget.DialogTitle>
removing attribute http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:layoutDirection
    from <LinearLayout>

I upgraded to version v1.8 of the JDK and does not work either.

Answer 1

See discussion on https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=164673

You have a couple of options:

• Set Preferences > Android > Build > Build output to Normal or Silent. Verbose is causing the problem.
• Force SDK Build Tools 21.1.2 for AppCompat project only in project.properties, see https://github.com/dandar3/android-support-v7-appcompat/blob/master/project.properties

You can have as many SDK Build Tools installed, you can specify a version per project or otherwise it will pick up the latest.

Answer 2

Solved by now uninstalling the "SDK v22.0.1 Build Tools" and install a previous version.
