I am trying to learn android in android studio.Now i imported an eclipse project in android studio and now while trying to run it it is not building.Some problems in gradle may be..

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8 cannot be smaller than version L declared in library com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0-rc1

my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android'

android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.practise" minSdkVersion 8 targetSdkVersion 19 } buildTypes { release { runProguard false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+' compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:+' }

Can anyone help me to find out the problem??

Change your dependencies

dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0' compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.1.0' }

Using the +, you are getting the last release.

Currently the last release is the compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21 and it has a minSdk='L' because it is a preview release.

Use it only to test the android 'L' preview.

Try editing the following line to your Android Manifest file, like so:

dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21+' }

Then your project should build.

Change your dependencies in app/build.gradle to lower version

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 20 buildToolsVersion "20.0.0" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.eusecom.snowsmsden" minSdkVersion 16 targetSdkVersion 20 } buildTypes { release { runProguard false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.+' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.+' }
