Can't integrate android bottom bar when api level is less than 23

I am trying to implement bottom bar in my app . I have tried several libraries like

But the problem is I can't integrate any of those library when complied sdk version is less than 23 . If I try to integrate it , it says

/home/user/droid-work/TestBBar/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v23/values-v23.xml

Error:(4) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.

Error:(34) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/root/Android/Sdk/build-tools/22.0.1/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Here is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.testbbar"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'

    compile 'com.aurelhubert:ahbottomnavigation:1.3.3' 
    
   //or compile 'com.roughike:bottom-bar:1.4.0.1'

   //or compile 'it.sephiroth.android.library.bottomnavigation:bottom-navigation:1.0.7'

}

Correct. If you compile less than 23, then it doesn't know what v-23 is. There is no reason why not to compile with 23 or even 24, it is the targetSDKVersion that makes a difference, and you can leave it at 22
Also, make sure you add the MaterialCompat library to your app.
