Do you have an #AdditionalRes: ......\b4a_appcompat line in the example project? Remove it (or download the examples again). This line was removed somewhere in july or august last year from the example and is not needed anymore.

BTW: You can now use the latest Build-Tools (25.x) and are not restricted to 23.0.3. I will change this in the posts.

I have done everything said there but Its not still working.

If you had done all things right you wouldn't get the errors. I still think that you have configured a too old android.jar.
Which platform versions have you installed with SDK Manager and which one have you configured in Configure Paths dialog?
You must provide more information if we should help you.

You don't need to repeat the same error message again and again.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin\javac.exe C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries\Additional Lib

I set path to: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-19\android.jar

From my post above:
I guess you are referencing a too old android.jar in Tools->Configure Paths. (See step 5 of the "setting up the library" instructions)

From the AppCompat libarary setup instructions:
5. Make sure that you reference the latest android.jar in the IDE under the "Tools/Configure Paths" menu. Don't worry. The android.jar is only used for compilation. It does not mean that you can't run your app on lower Android Versions. The Support libraries require to compile against the same API version as the library itself. So for Support library 25.xx which is the current now you should compile with API25 android.jar.

Guess your mistake.

My Mistake: Imagine after several months of using b4a I still didn't know that android.jar version is determined by Android API level and not by the Android Build tools version. I downloaded API version 25 and uninstall version 19 and everything now works like magic.

Thanks man, I am so very grateful, looking forward to be like you:):):):)
