The solution turned out to be:

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'
}

You have to change your build.gradle, because with your current settings, gradle uses the latest version of the support library and this version is only for Android L, that's why you get this error

change to this line in your build.gradle

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0'
