Answer 1

You should use the correct version for the appcompat-v7 dependency.

The latest stable version of the above-mentioned dependency to now is:

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'

Use it as above and make sure you installed/updated to the latest version in SDK Manager before.
