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

Answer 1

As library requires minSdkVersion 17 then you can change the same in build.gradle(Module:Application) file:

defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 17 
        targetSdkVersion 25
}

and after that building the project should not throw any build error.
