Hi,

I'm sorry if this may have been asked, but I've searched all over with Google and can't really find what I'm looking for..

After setting up android studio I created a test app with a txt field and a button.

Trying to compile and run on my old phone (a Samsung galaxy s8 in dev mode), it spews an error:

The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a dependency AAR metadata (meta-inf/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties) is greater than this modules compileSdkVersion (android-28)

Depemdancy: android.core:core:1.7.0.

I know apk 31 is greater than apk 28, thanks android studio..

Things I have done:

File》project structure 》modules》compile sdk ver = 28 (and 9 - pie)

Edited build.gradle
CompileSdk 28
MinSdk 23
TargetSdk 28
CompileSdkVersion 28

May I add that I specified 28 when creating the project, but android studio insists on sdk 31. Confuses the heck out of me..

I've always had trouble with android studio and gradle with a poor Internet connection. I'm managing to get the build using Internet hotspot on my new phone, though it fails on apk version..

I used to use eclipse to program back in the day and had no issues, but I think that's deprecated now in favour of (ahem) android studio..

Please help, as I can't for the life of me figure this out and only finding solutions to set the sdk to 31 on Google isn't what I want, I want to use an older sdk. It's getting quite depressing at this point..

Thanks in advance for any help given by you good folks out there..
