Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 1 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in library
Solution 1
You should change from:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "bb.hoppingbird"
//minSdkVersion 14
//targetSdkVersion 19
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
}
to:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "bb.hoppingbird"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 26
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.4.2'
}
Update: Please follow these instructions:
Solution 2
if you are using AppCompatActivity in your project then you need to change minSdkVersion 14 for com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0 inside build.gradel file
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
Solution 3
Anyone coming here from libGDX, in your game-project/android/build.gradle
change your minSdkVersion
from 14 to 16. For example:
defaultConfig {
// other config options...
minSdkVersion 16
}

I have been searching SO and other android blogs from last 5-7 hours to get rid of one error but could not. In Android Studio, I imported an old project of eclipse but the error "Manifest merger failed' persists like
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'. > Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 1 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in library [com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4] C:\Users\.android\build-cache\857c11d37cd8661c3d52cb060657f8bf3635bb7a\output\AndroidManifest.xml Suggestion: use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.android.gms.play_services" to force usage
when I checked mentioning minSdkVersion in build.gradle then I got Gradle build finished with 227 error(s) in 1m 30s 253ms some errors are:
Z:\#1 ready\others\UVPlayermasterpart1\HoppingBird\app\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\values-ldltr-v21\values-ldltr-v21.xml Z:\#1 ready\others\UVPlayermasterpart1\HoppingBird\app\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\values-v21\values-v21.xml Error:(17) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Inverse'.

and using overrideLibrary in manifest file did not work.
build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "26.0.2" defaultConfig { applicationId "bb.hoppingbird" //minSdkVersion 14 //targetSdkVersion 19 } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+' }
