AppCompatActivity Gives Error

Question

I use version of Android Studio 1.5.1

If I create new project and MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity then it does not work it gives error like:

    12-02 11:55:20.736 29178-29214/? E/dalvikvm: Could not find class 'android.app.AppOpsManager', referenced from method com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil.zza

I create new project. Not change anything only run it.but it gives error. How can i use AppCompatActivity.

Answer 1

Your logcat throws

This app has been built with an incorrect configuration.

You should use latest gradle plagin version

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2' //2.2.0

Here is Demo

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }

FYI

You can add this in your build.gradle section .

    android {
  defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  }
}

Then Clean-Rebuild, Sync & Run.
