    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0 rc2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "lk.lankahomes.baman.srilankatemples"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.1'
}

can some one help me to fix this thank you.

Answer 1

It happens because the the 21.0.1 for support libraries doesn't exist.

You can use in build.gradle one of these:

dependencies{

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 23
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 22
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 21
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'

}

The same consideration is valid also for the com.android.support:recyclerview-v7

Answer 2

I faced similar issue and installed android SDK build tools -v23.0.1 and referred Android setup guide https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html#content

but couldn't locate "Android support repository",for latest version of SDK manager- the option is changed to "Local maven repository for support libraries".

Answer 3

I think the buildToolsVersion "23.0.0 rc2" line is causing the problem.

change it to buildToolsVersion "21.0.1"

or try

compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

and

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'

and yes what sharj has said is also correct, you maybe missing the build tools
