This post is only about configuring an android project in Android Studio with compile and target versions set as android L or 5.0 or Lollipop.
I am writing this post with the sample gradle as I faced a lot of problems while configuring Lollipop's preview version.
I will write the sample gradle as well as the screen shot of android sdk manager to represent most basic requirements required for a project setup with target version as Lollipop.
So to be able to use any feature of the Android 5.0, here is the sample gradle with support library for Android L features :
Also see the following attached screenshots to get the required SDK, various support dependencies, platforms etc to be downloaded :
Android Tools :
Android SDK 5.0(L or Lollipop)
Minimum Android SDK (as per above gradle 2.3.3 or API level 10)
Support Libraries for L features for older devices
Please provide your comment in case of any issues.
