Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] Android Studio

by

Unless you know you want to be using the Android L developer preview with your application, do not target and compile with it. It is still very much a preview release, and it appears as though applications targeting and compiling for the preview cause this error with any non-L device.

Update these lines in your build.gradle to stick with the latest stable release (Android 4.4, API 19):

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19

    defaultConfig {
        targetSdkVersion 19
    }
}
