compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion should be of same version

try changing like this

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.0'

thank you i updated my `build tools` and also `platform-tools` to the latest but the problem still
Note: its not necessary that `complieSdkVrersion` and `buildToolsVresion` to be the same lint didn't tell about that but i give it a shot – Hassan Dec 28 '17 at 12:02

i solved it, there are three types of android modules :

Application module : contains code, resources and the build produces .Apk file
Android Library : contains code, resources and the build produces .AAR file
Java Library : contains code and the build produces .JAR file

Application module can depend on the other two, i converted my shared module to android library type that solved it.
