minSdkVersion correctly defined in manifest still getting errors

In my Android Manifest I have these value set:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="14"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

But I keep getting errors like this:

Error:(7, 5) uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 9 cannot be smaller than version 10 declared in library …app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.facebook.android\facebook\3.21.1\AndroidManifest.xml

Or at another place where I using this code:

newFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");

I get warning with red line that however when i run it runs fine:

`Call requires min API level 11 (current min is 9…`

Why is that when I have set minSdkVersion to way above than required?

The minSdk errors that you are getting is because of the libraries included and not because of your app. For example facebook requires minSdk 9 which is declared in its manifest

If you are using Gradle, the minSdkVersion declared in your build.gradle file takes precedence over what is declared in your AndroidManifest.xml - in fact, you can remove those lines from your manifest entirely.
