Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name after upgrading to AppCompat v23

I've always programmed Android with Eclipse and decided to start migrating to Android Studio. I decided to use the same SDK I already had for Eclipse, then:

Started a new project

Set minimum SDK 4.0 (API Level 14)

Choose Blank Activity option

Used Default names for Activity Name and Layout Name

Hit Finish

After a few seconds Gradle finishes the build, and it throws me two errors with the following messages in file Teste4\app\build\intermediates/exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.0.0\res\values-v23\values-v23.xml:

Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'. Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.

Under File -> Project Structure -> Modules: app (left column) -> Properties tab, I have the following versions set up:

"Compile Sdk Version": Android 5.1 (API Level 22)

"Build Tools Version": 23.0.2

What should I do in order to fix this?

I already tried what was suggested in Stack Overflow question appcompat-v7:21.0.0': No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:actionModeShareDrawable', but it didn't work.

Your compile SDK version must match the support library's major version.

Since you are using version 23 of the support library, you need to compile against version 23 of the Android SDK.

Alternatively you can continue compiling against version 22 of the Android SDK by switching to the latest support library v22.


You can either change it manually in your build.gradle, or you can use the GUI by opening up the project properties and going to the "dependencies" tab.
This question and answer have nothing to do with what version your app will run on. An app targeting 22 can run just fine on a device running 23. The problem described here is that the support library version 23 requires that you target 23, as the support library references some APIs in the 23 SDK.
For those like me who are new to Android Studio and are confused about how to "use the GUI by opening up the project properties", in my Android Studio (v1.3.1), I go to File, Project Structure, then in the left-hand pane at the bottom is an entry under Modules (called "app" in my case). I click on that, and then I see a Dependencies tab.
I still can't believe Android Studio releases stuff without even testing something SO basic!! At least put some meaningful warnings!!
The GUI should have popped up a message "we've detected you're not targeting the right Android API version. Want me to fix it?". Instead, I have to stop working on the airplane and wait until I can search stackoverflow.

This happens because after updates Android Studio uses API version 23 by default.

The following worked for me:

Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S to get to the project structure page. Go to the properties tab and change 23.0.0 to 22.0.1 (or equivalent to what you were using earlier) in the build tool area and rebuild your project.

If that doesn't work, go to gradle:app and then

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'

Edit v7:23.0.0 to v7:22.2.1 as shown above and sync gradle. This will definitely work.


For newbies like me who are confused about how to "go to gradele:app and then compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'", in my Android Studio (version 1.3.1), in the project pane (which I opened by clicking the 1: Project tab on the very left), I see two entries under Gradle Scripts called "build.gradle". The second one has (Module: app) next to it. I double-clicked it to open it. Then in the dependencies section at the bottom, I changed the v7:23.0.0 to v7:22.2.1. I saved (and synced as prompted by Studio) - seemed to compile ok.
How can I enter project structure page on MAC?
@Sourav Even After doing these changes error not solved. Still I have these errors in v23/values-23.xml file. I've changed values in project structure page, rebuild app. But still facing the issue :(
On mac the shortcut is ⌘ + ; . Alternatively you can go to File > Project Structure.

When you update your Android Studio, it uses API version 23 by default, which is the main reason for its occurrence. So,

At first, check your AppCompat version in build.gradle(Module:app) That is,

https://i.stack.imgur.com/zdA9P.jpg

If after changing to 23 there occurs an error then just download

Compile Sdk Version to API 23, and Build Tools Version to 23.0.0

from SDK Manager. If already downloaded then:

1. Go to SDK Manager and
2. Under Project Structure, change *Compile SDK Version* to API 23, and *Build Tools Version* to 23.0.0

Click the SDK Manager Button and open the dialog.

https://i.stack.imgur.com/bAoOZ.jpg

Click SDK Platform and check if Android 6.0 is downloaded or not.

if not, then download that first. After completing the download, click Apply.

https://i.stack.imgur.com/VDKen.jpg

Now you need to apply changes to your project from setting. Then press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S to open setting

Click the app from the list. Click properties Change your Compile SDK Version to API 23 Change your Build Tools Version to 23.0.0

https://i.stack.imgur.com/tl5P7.jpg

Don't forget to rebuild your project.

Then your error will be gone.


I understood your way of defining the solution, but try to describe your post with complete description
@NaveedAhmad Ok i am going to edit my post. Thanks for your suggestion .
I added a post related to the above issue stackoverflow.com/a/32370099/2915785
hey, please add same appcompat version, it solved my problem
In such cases screenshots help for such dummies as I am.

If you've tried to change target to a previous GooglePlayServices or AppCompatv7 version and it doesn't work, check if you have any project-libraries dependency, this project will be targeting the latest version of any of these libraries. It happened to me with the Google Maps Utils Library project:

replace:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

to

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

Then you can continue full targeting API 22

If it still doesn't compile, sometimes is useful to set compileSdkVersion API to 23 and targetSdkVersion to 22.

Peter Mortensen

I agree with the previous answer. Your compile SDK version must match the support library. Here is what I did.

You can go to SDK Manager and under SDK Platform, install the Android 5.X with API level 23. Under Project Structure, change compile SDK Version to API 23, and Build Tools Version to 23.0.0

Then it should build without problem.

Dharma Sai Seerapu

You need to set compileSdkVersion to 23.

Since API 23 Android removed the deprecated Apache Http packages, so if you use them for server requests, you'll need to add useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' to build.gradle as stated in this link:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
    ...

    //only if you use Apache packages
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}

This issue is raised because now the compile SDK version must match the Android Support library's major version.

In my case i have the Android Support Library version 23, so i had to compile against the Android SDK version 23, and I had to change this in my build.gradle file:

https://i.stack.imgur.com/GYWZB.png

Well some of you will need to install the SDK, Android 6.0 (API 23)

and don´t forget to Sync project with gradle files

I found the solution, Problem started when I updated sdk, after that I used different buildToolsVersion ('22.0.1') and I was using different support library like compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0', showing you in image below

https://i.stack.imgur.com/8yyvY.png

This was raising problem of "android.widget.Material..." Then I used same version for support library like compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.1' and its DONE. (Showing you in below screenshot)

And sync your project if needed.

As pointed out by Tanis.7x, the support library version (23) does not match the targetSdkVersion (22)

You can fix this by doing the following:

In the build.grade file of your app module, change the following line of code

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'

To

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.+'

This will use the latest version of the appcompat version that is compatible with SdkVersion 22.

Your compile SDK version must match the support library major version. This is the solution to your problem. You can check it easily in your Gradle Scripts in build.gradle file. Fx: if your compileSdkVersion is 23 your compile library must start at 23.

  compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 340
        versionName "3.4.0"
    }
dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
}

In my case it was an higher version of Google-play-services. I set them to 7.0.0 (not 8.x) and all was ok.

I wanted to downgrade from API 23 to 22 and got this error. I had to change all build.gradle files in a project in order to compile.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.yourapp.app"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 22
    }
...
dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.0.1'
}

This is what helped me: Adding specific android platform

What should be done is the following... In my case it was cordova but the same is relevant for ionic, phonegap and other frameworks like these:

list all platforms installed for your project: cordova platform list. You'll see something like this:

https://i.stack.imgur.com/hH6o1.jpg

remove the android platform: cordova platform remove android. then add the specific android platform: cordova platform add android@5.0.0.

Good luck! :)

I got the same problems. I solved my problem by updating gradle.build for each sub-module to latest compiler version.

Another solution : navigate to

\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7\23.x.x

open .aar file with 7-zip or winrar , in res folder remove values-23 folder and save changes .

on module: app (Gradle)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.namepack.nameappxxxxx"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
}

project: nameAppXXXX (Gradle)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

and edit your activity of AppCompatActivity to for example Activity:

package com.namepack.nameappxxxxx;


import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class NameClass extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
    }


}

Upgrade Android Studio.

I had this issue with Android Studio 1.3.1 and none of the other answers worked for me, but after updating to 1.5.1 there were no problems.

If you are using phonegap(cross-platform) and got same issue above, just remove the android platform using below command.

phonegap platform remove android

And add it again.

phonegap platform add android

Then problem solved for me.

If you are getting errors even after downloading the newest SDK and Android Studio, here is what I did:

Download the most recent SDK Open file-Project structure (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S) In modules, select app In the properties tab: Change compile SDK version to API 23 Android 6.0 marshmallow (latest)

I hope it helps someone so that he won't suffer like I did for these couple of days.

As others have already mentioned your compile sdk version must match your support library's major version. This is however, also relevant for subprojects should you have any.

In case you do, you can set your subprojects compile sdk versions with the following script:

subprojects { subproject ->
afterEvaluate{
    if((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
        android {
            compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
            buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
        }
      }
   }
}

Add this script in your root build.gradle file.
