Application doesn't run for this error : Failed to execute aapt

I downloaded a source code and just import in my android studio. Now my project is showing this error.

Information:Gradle tasks [:app:generateDebugSources, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources, :app:mockableAndroidJar, :app:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies]
/home/td/Downloads/link/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v24/values-v24.xml
Error:(3) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.
Error:(4) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.
Error:(3) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.
Error:(4) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

The problem indicates on this file

..../link/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v24/values-v24.xml

How can I get rid of this. I searched several things. Some of them are telling about changing minSDKversion but this won't work.

Here is my gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.creativedroids.link"
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 23
}

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
    }
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
compile files('libs/dagger-1.2.2.jar')
compile files('libs/javax.inject-1.jar')
compile files('libs/nineoldandroids-2.4.0.jar')
compile files('libs/tapjoyconnectlibrary.jar')
compile files('libs/tween-engine-api-sources.jar')
compile files('libs/tween-engine-api.jar')
compile files('libs/vungle-publisher-adaptive-id-3.3.2.jar')
}

It means your compileSdkVersion should be to match support lib v24

change compileSdkVersion to 24

I think you just need to update your compileSdkVersion to 25.

In my case this is what got it to work:

compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'

I'm on API 26, obviously.

If you're using the newest play services then you have to compile with new sdk - at least 26.

When you upgrade your app’s Play services dependencies to 11.2.0 or later, your app’s build.gradle must also be updated to specify a compileSdkVersion of at least 26 (Android O).

Your compile SDK version must match the support library's major version.

You can do it on the gradle file mentioned in the question below

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name after upgrading to AppCompat v23
