Error: package android.support.v7.app does not exist [ANDROID STUDIO]

Question

I'm trying to compile a project using Android Studio and this error show up. I've already imported the appcompat in the build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+'
    compile 'com.melnykov:floatingactionbutton:1.1.0'
}

and in several files I've imported this:

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

Is it the root build.gradle file ? @JoanColmenero gradle overrides this value. — Gabriele Mariotti, Feb 05 '15 at 06:39

Remove this dependency from Gradle file and add from

Project(right click) -> Project Structure ->click on your application-> Dependencies -> Add button(right side) ->library dependency -> Choose V7 libary.

enter image description here

Similarly add the module dependency using this way. Also before building the project make sure you do the same to the module project

When I add the appcompat-v7-21.0.3 it says that the library has broken paths and doesn't let me add the module dependency. – Marco Gagino Feb 04 '15 at 17:03

This just added the dependency I just removed back to app/build.gradle. – Martin Konicek Aug 06 '15 at 17:12
