Android Studio automatically updates the following components for API 26:
- ROM - SDK for API 26
- Android SDK Build-Tools 26
- Android Emulator 26.0.3
- Android SDK Platforms-Tools 26.0.0
- Android SDK Tools 26.0.2
My gradle 2.3.3:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion '26.0.0'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.mycompany.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 4
versionName "0.0.4"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
/////////If I change it to 26.0.0 it gives errors.///////////
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1'
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
I have two questions (see commented line in Gradle):
How to find out the latest version of these libraries (I just throw random numbers and try them until I find the latest version).
The excluded group has "com.android.support" if I delete, what do I need to specify these libraries? Therefore, I see a lot of people, including the com.android.support libraries, so there is a reason why I think so.
I searched on developer.android.com and the latest version is 24.2.0 (so the really old one I use 25.3.1).
