Error in Android Studio

I am getting the following error in android studio when I try to run the ribbit app.

C:\Users\Rohit\AndroidStudioProjects\Ribbit\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml:0:0 Error: uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 14 cannot be smaller than version L declared in library com.android.support:support-v13:21.0.0-rc1

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

Can someone please tell me what is wrong

Try going into your apps build.gradle and change the line that says compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+' to compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:20.+'

This worked for me. It seems that the project is set to include the version of the library that is android L only and setting it to a different version fixed the problem. I hope this helps!
