ActionBarActivity cannot resolve a symbol

by

Follow the steps mentioned for using support ActionBar in Android Studio(0.4.2) :

Download the Android Support Repository from Android SDK Manager, SDK Manager icon will be available on Android Studio tool bar (or Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager).

enter image description here

After download you will find your Support repository here

$SDK_DIR\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7

Open your main module’s build.gradle file and add following dependency for using action bar in lower API level

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
}

Sync your project with gradle using the tiny Gradle icon available in toolbar (or Tools -> Android -> Sync Project With Gradle Files).

There is some issue going on with Android Studio 0.4.2 so check this as well if you face any issue while importing classes in code.

Import Google Play Services library in Android Studio

If Required follow the steps as well :

  • Exit Android Studio
  • Delete all the .iml files and files inside .idea folder from your
    project
  • Relaunch Android Studio and wait till the project synced completely
    with gradle. If it shows an error in Event Log with import option click on Import Project.

This is bug in Android Studio 0.4.2 and fixed for Android Studio 0.4.3 release.
