  <p>I have been trying some options from stackoverflow but none seems to work. The <code>compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'</code> is underlined in red <code>This support library should not use a different version(25) than the compile version (23)</code> 
  What does this mean? Also What is that error in XML?</p>
