I'll start from what I want to achieve: building the googlecast-manager example provided here: https://github.com/googlecast/GameManagerSamples I followed instructions here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_sender
So first I downloaded from github the project, then with the Android SDK Manager I downloaded Android Support Libraries and Google play Services. Then in my project, I went to "Open Modules Setting->Add" then went to "Android SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat" and added it.
Then first step to ensure it's working is to build it. So I right clicked on appcompat->"Compile Module Appcompat" but it fails with 2 errors:
Error:(20, -1) android-apt-compiler: [appcompat] D:\Android SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v23\styles_base.xml:20: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.
Error:(19, -1) android-apt-compiler: [appcompat] D:\Android SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values-v23\styles_base_text.xml:19: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.
Doing the same for Google Play works like a charm.
I've tried to find videos/other similar issues but it's either too complicated or not my problem.
Here is the AndroidManifest.xml of appcompat:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="android.support.v7.appcompat">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>
<application />
I actually found the answer for my problem and the person above was right. The Module SDK set to compile the module was 22.0 and not 23.0. To fix that I did the following. Right click on appcompat: "Open Module Setting -> Modules SDK": New. I Chose the folder containing the whole Android SDK and chose the last Android (e.g. 6.0) with the last Module SDK 23.0.
