Migrating Project to Android Studio Beta

Migrating Project To Android Studio Beta
===============================================

#### 为了部落 && 感受暴风城的力量 ...
 It takes me lots of time to solve this problem and I hope this post will save your time.
  
Are you stuck trying to build your android project using Android Studio with Android L preview? 

##### Here is my experience. 
* First I downloaded the latest build of Android Studio Beta. 
* Next, I would import my current project from Eclipse using all default settings which was impressive. 
* However, once I tried to build I would experience issues such as:

>"Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'. > Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 9 cannot be smaller than version L declared in library com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0-rc1"

##### Here is how I solve the issue which allowed me to build and run on multiple platforms (i.e. v19,v18,v17). 
* Make sure to download the proper SDK's using your SDK manager located in the top toolbar within Android Studio.
* Open AndroidManifest, add the following (replace "MyApp")
<pre><code>
《  manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.MyApp"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk tools:node="replace" />
</code></pre>
* Open build.gradle, add the following (replace "MyApp"):
<pre><code>
android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.MyApp'
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName '1.0'
    }
</code></pre>
* Within build.gradle add the following dependancies:
<pre><code>
dependencies {
    compile('com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0') {
            force = true
    }
    compile ('com.android.support:cardview-v7:20.0.0'){
        force = true
    }
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
    compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:+'
}
</code></pre>
* Test and compile, Good luck and enjoy it :)
