I do not know how to solve that . thank all . I do think my case is very general and not specific .

[daamsie]

I had a similar error to that as well, please note the message in the error

Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 21,
or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 23,

In your build.gradle you will have to bump up your minSdkVersion to at least 23 to be able to use this library.

23 is the equivalent of Android 6 which is pretty darn old already by now.
