How to choose compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion for a given device?

My device is installing Android 4.3. When I try to install an Android app on that device through Android Studio, I got compatible "minSdk (API 18) > deviceSdk(API 1)". I wander how to choose compatible version for that device. Below is my build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.yzzhao.myapplication"
    minSdkVersion 18
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}

I finally figured it out that the problem is because the device is not authorised by my computer. After reset enable USB debug, it works.

If you're using android studio /Go to file -> Project Structure->application. Then set your compile sdk version in properties tab and min/target sdk version in flavours tab.

Since your Android phone version is Android 4.3(API level 18), you can use compileSdkVersion 18 for actual accurate result. buildToolsVersion should be 18.0.1 or higher
