How do I use tools:overrideLibrary in a build.gradle file?

Question

I\'m using the leanback libraries, which require Android 17 or later. However my app supports a minSDK of 16, so I get a build error from gradle saying

Erro         


        

Answer 1

it doesn't matter that you declare your minSdk in build.gradle. You have to copy overrideLibrary in your AndroidManifest.xml, as documented here.

    ...

The system automatically ignores the sdkVersion declared in AndroidManifest.xml.

I hope this solve your problem.
