Question

http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html has a bug. In Property->Java build path->'Project' and 'Order and Export', there should not be any jar's. Removing them, and checking 'Android Private Libraries' and 'Android Dependencies' solved my problem.

I am not sure whether v13 support library was available when this question was posted, but in case someone is still struggling, I have seen that adding android-support-v13.jar will fix everything. This is how I did it:

1. Right click on the project -> Properties
2. Select Java Build Path from from the left hand side table of content
3. Go to Libraries tab
4. Add External jars button and select <your sdk path>\extras\android\support\v13\android-support-v13.jar

Answer 3

you need reference $ANDROID_SDK/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat

Answer 4

Follow the steps of @rcdmk. Delete the android support v4.jar in YOUR project. It conflicts with the new updated version found in appcompat.

Answer 5

I experienced the same problem as the OP after right-clicking on my project and selecting Close Unrelated Projects.

In my case, I resolved the problem by re-opening the appcompat_v7 project and cleaning/rebuilding both projects.

Answer 6

If you have added appCompat Library and also have given proper reference of appCompat from SDK location, try "invalidate caches/Restart".
You can find it from "File" menu in Android Studio.
