Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 in my app

Question

I\'m trying to compile my Android project and I\'m getting this error

[INFO] Exception in thread \"main\" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android         


        

Answer 1

I face this problem too when making new project from android studio.

I've been able to resolve this by downgrading buildToolsVersion in app gradle setting: change {module-name}/build.gradle line

buildToolsVersion "24.0.0 rc1"

to

buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

@Edit:
In Android Studio 2.1 Go to File-> Project Structure->App -> Build Tool Version. Change it to 23.0.3

Do the method above, only when you are using java version 7 and for some reason do not want to upgrade to java 8 yet.

Hope this helps
