Android Studio: Gradle: error: cannot find symbol variable

by

You shouldn’t be importing android.R. That should be automatically generated and recognized. This question contains a lot of helpful tips if you get some error referring to R after removing the import.

Some basic steps after removing the import, if those errors appear:

  • Clean your build, then rebuild
  • Make sure there are no errors or typos in your XML files
  • Make sure your resource names consist of [a-z0-9.]. Capitals or symbols are not allowed for some reason.
  • Perform a Gradle sync (via Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files)
