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

Use overrideLibrary when the minSdk is declared in build.gradle instead of in AndroidManifest.xml

If you are using Android Studio:

add to your manifest, don't forget to include xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" too.
