Starting with version 26.0.0 of the Support Libraries the minSdk has been bumped to 14 (Android 4.0, see this link). If you have to support platforms down to API-Level 9 you have to use version 25.4.0 which is last one that supported every api level from 7 onwards.

Note: There's really no reason to support such old devices, according to the latest numbers they only account for roughly 0.7% of all devices. (link)
