Material Design build.gradle error

Question

I have a problem in my build.gradle file, the compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion doesn't match.

Here is my build.gradle:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.emergencyapp"
        minSdkVersion 18
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    dexOptions {
        preDexLibraries = false
    }
    }

    dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:6.1.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    }

And here is my error:

I think it is the buildToolsVersion and the dependencies are causing the problem.

@vovaxo It is not correct. You need to compile with 23, but you can still use the target 22. — Gabriele Mariotti, Feb 08 '16 at 08:57

Since you are using

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

You have a dependency with the support libraries v.23, also if you are declaring v22.
It means that you have to compile with api 23.

Just use:

compileSdkVersion 23

Otherwise use an older version of the com.google.android.gms:play-services

I was having the same problem, What I did is

First be sure that you have API level 23 (marshmallow/ android 6) installed.
Set compileSdkVersion to 23 and dependencies libraries also to greater than 23.
Clean and build the project.

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name after upgrading to AppCompat v23

Since you are using version 23 of the SupportLibrary, you need to compile against version 23 of the Android SDK.

Just change your compile sdk to 23, already has an answer from Google:

compileSdkVersion 23
