Genymotion - Android Studio Errors

  • Set up Android Studio with Genymotion for the first time
  • Started up a Genymotion virtual machine
  • When I go to run an app, I am presented with the "Choose a running virtual device" dialogue box, in that dialogue box, it indicates that the virtual device is running, but is not compatible
  • If I try to move forward with running the app, I get this error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

Any idea why this error is happening? Thanks in advance,

Rod

Hello All, I was able to resolve this issue through try / error and Google. The fix required a changes to these settings within the build.gradle file: compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "19.1.0" targetSdkVersion 19

The Genymotion virtual device was set to run at sdk version 19.

Full Excerpt from the build.gradle file: android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.culebracut.ribbit.app"
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 19
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
