failed to find target with hash string 'android-22'

I have updated android studio with latest version and then after googling I also updated Android SDK with API 18 but still it gives the same error.

Just click on the link written in the error:

> Open Android SDK Manager

and it will show you the dialogs that will help you to install the required sdk for your project.

Open the Android SDK Manager and Update with latest :

1. Android SDK Tools
2. Android SDK Build Tools

Then Sync ,Re-Build and Restart Your Project Demo Code for build.gradle

   compileSdkVersion 21 // Now 23
   buildToolsVersion '21.1.2' //Now 23.0.1

   defaultConfig
    {
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 19  
     }

Hope this helps .

Okay you must try this guys it works for me:

1. Open SDK Manager and Install SDK build tools 22.0.1
2. Sync gradle That'all

I modified build.gradle compileSdkVersion to 23 from 22 and targetSdkVersion to 23 from 22.

My API level was 23. I had to update the API version to 23 as well.

I had to import my project from Eclipse to Android Studio. It worked for me.

I had similar issue. I updated android studio build tools and my project didn't find "android-22". I looked in android sdk manager and it was installed.

To fix this issue I uninstalled "android-22" and installed again.

I created a new Cordova project, which created with latest android target android level 23. when i run it works. if i changed desire android target value from 23 to 22. and refresh the Gradle build from the Andoid Studio. now it's fail when i run it. i got the following build error.

project-android /CordovaLib/src/org/apache/cordova/CordovaInterfaceImpl.java Error:(217, 22) error: cannot find symbol method requestPermissions(String[],int)

I changed the target level in these files.

project.properties
AndroidManifest.xml

and inside CordovaLib folder.

project.properties

However, i also have another project which is using the android target level 22, whenever i run that project, it runs. Now my question is can we specify the desire android level at the time of creating the project?

I think you should install API 18 from android sdk if not already installed, otherwise you can try "invalidate caches and restart" (Find: File->invalidate caches and restart).

Change

compileSdkVersion 18 minSdkVersion 10 targetSdkVersion 18

in build.gradle in your app directory/module

Or Download Latest API Version

In sdk Manager download android 5.1.1, it worked for me

Open project.properties file and change the line with target=android-22 to the desired value.
For example: > target=android-19
