Error when adding CardView to layout

Question

I wanted to try out the new toys that google gave us and I\'ve run into some trouble.

Here is my build.gradle:

apply plugin: \'com.android.applicatio         


        

Answer 1

I was able to get it to work on the emulator by changing my build.gradle to this:

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

Make sure you have the support repository installed from the SDK Manager! Hope this helps

EDIT: as someone suggested using 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1' is a better practice but it not required.
