build errors with renderscript using Android studio 0.2.3; 4.3 SDK

Question

I receive the errors below while upgrading to the newest studio (0.2.3) and newest SDK (4.3). I have a few non-root functions in my renderscript file and the compiler gives a error that these functions are not supported in SDK levels 11-15. Therefore, I set my level to 16 in the build.gradle and the manifest file. I am not sure why I have to do this twice. Maybe the manifest is not used anymore. After changing to 16 level I noticed that the error below still shows "-target-api 11". How do I get around this problem? I had these non-root functions in my renderscript file before this upgrade.

Thanks,

Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

The static in front of the void functions fixed my problems. Thanks hoss — user2488826

You should use the SDK version and build tool of same version.

In the project property file add the below statement .

renderscript.target =18
renderscript.support.mode = true
sdk.buildtoos="choose depanding on the API level"

Classes using RenderScript , add the below import statement.
```
import android.support.v8.renderscript.*;
```

Please check may be this will be helpful .
