This method is not overriding anything with the current build target,
but will in API level 11 (current target is 1).
How do I neutralize this error? The app compiles and runs. I'm using gradle:
android {
compileSdkVersion "android-L"
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.codepath.apps.restclienttemplate"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion "android-L"
}
....
}
According to to the <uses-sdk>
docs, if minSdkVersion
is absent it defaults to 1, so I'm thinking lint doesn't know what version is required.
Try this, worked for me:
download android-21 sdk from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!klwQWQ6Z!seD3n0x9dkTyR29c7HxNE6XkHXtmpjfcbYrfntVOXmY
unzip it in you sdk path
in your gradle build file change this
compileSdkVersion "android-L"
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
to
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
Experienced the same issue on Android Studion v0.8.0 (it was downloaded from official website, and it wasn't the latest version for that time (:sad) )
Just update the programm (Help -> Check for Update...). In my case I updated to 0.8.6 and the issue has gone.
I suspect that strings for API levels such as android-L
or L
resolves to 1
for the API level and it sees tons of methods that don't exist until later API levels (even very low API level methods added in 4 or 7).
Since the SDK is a preview and not final, I added this to my lint.xml file:
<!-- Android L pre-release disabled checks -->
<issue id="Override" severity="ignore"/>
Be sure to remove it once Android L's SDK is officially released and you can use 21
instead of a string.
