Apps Dependency Espression Problem

[Adnan Salahuddin]

Hi folks,

dependencies {
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2'
}

Add this dependency in build.gradle file. I am getting error message and it says:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app: processDebugAndroidTestManifest'.

> Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 1 cannot be smaller than version 8 declared in library [com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2] C:\Users\Adnan\AndroidStudioProjects\android-hello-world-master\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support.test.espresso\espresso-core\2.2.2\AndroidManifest.xml
Suggestion: use tools: overrideLibrary="android.support.test.espresso" to force usage

What does that mean?
How do fix it?

I am waiting for your response
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Android Forums. I added code tags to your post to make it more readable for the folks that can help. Good luck getting it sorted.

You need to set your minSdkVersion in the Android manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml) to 8 or greater

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=8
          ... />
