Unable to import com.android.support:appcompat-v7 library android studio

I'm a beginner to android application development and i am unable to use com.android.support:appcompat-v7 support library.

I added dependencies to the project module in this way,

Project structure -> Module -> Dependencies -> Add Library Dependencies(then selected com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+) Finally Sync Project with gradle files.

Everything works fine while programming but whiling running the app it gives me an error saying " Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version L declared in library com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0-rc1"

build.gradle file contains

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'digiapes.harsha.apeonomy'
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName '1.0'
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
}

Replace:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'

with:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.1.0'

and see if that helps. You are pulling in an "L" Developer Preview version of the dependency, which will not work well in your case.
