Set-up RenderScript in Android Studio

I'm desperately trying to set-up RenderScript in Android Studio. According to this manual http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/renderscript/compute.html#ide-setup I have set the highest available renderscriptTargetApi 22 and renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true. I use buildToolsVersion "22.0.1". With this I am able to use the ScriptIntrinsic functions - but didn't achieve to compile an self written RenderScript (tried 20h+ now...). I always get the same problem with the R-File (red) - at the latest when I try to rebuild the Project. What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much for your help.

Solution
    1. Open Android Studio.
    2. Select "File/New/New Project..."
    3. Press Next
    4. Select "Phone and Tablet" and Minimum SDK: 4.4.
    5. Press Next.
    6. Select "Blank Activity".
    7. Press Next.
    8. Press Finish.
    9. Right-click at the top of hierarchy tree on the left ("app").
    10. Select "New/Folder/RenderScript folder".
    11. Press Finish.
    12. Copy a working renderscript file to newly created "rs" folder.
    13. Double-click on "Gradle Scripts/build.gradle (Module: app).

    14. Insert

      renderscriptTargetApi 18
renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

    at the end of defaultConfig section.

    1. Press Ctrl-F9 to build your project.
