Can't add activity in Android Studio

I am trying to add another activity to my project but it seems like the options for that are greyed out

Here's what it looks like to me:

I had the same problem to solve.

Go to Gradle and check the following settings:

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.hawiLLC.hawiblogapp"
    minSdkVersion 21
    targetSdkVersion 29
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

Check on the minimum minSdkVersion.

I had the same problem. In order to change the minumun SDK level in a Android Studio project I had to change it in build.gradleinstead of the AndroidManifest.xml. This is part of the file I modified:

android {
compileSdkVersion 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:23'
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.myfirstapp"
    minSdkVersion 9
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

You need to change your minimum SDK level. That's why it's greyed out - yours is set to be too low.

In your AndroidManifest.xml, right under <manifest . . . >, add this:

 uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />

You can change the value there to any value...you only really need 8 or higher for most of the activities you are trying to add.
