I am working on an android project that used Gradle 2.3.3 (at this point, there was no compiling issues). I upgraded Gradle to version 3.0.1, and made the required adjustments.

I removed retrolambda. I changed the keywords to use the new dependency configurations.

But my project doesn't compile, because it seems that android.R.* elements are not found anymore. The errors I have are :

Error:(524, 27) error: cannot find symbol variable id
Error:(625, 122) error: cannot find symbol variable id
Error:(74, 63) error: cannot find symbol variable color

on the following ids : android.R.id.home, and android.R.color.white.

What changed on Gradle 3.0.1 that could have triggered these errors ?

EDIT : I already tried to clear/invalidate caches, restart, sync Project with gradle files, clean, rebuild... A coworker tried to compile the code on his computer : same error - it doesn't look like it is a cache issue.

have you tried clean/rebuild or invalidate caches and restart ? if not ,you should , this type of errors many times get fixed by these. – himel Jan 18 '18 at 10:44
Yes, I tried multiple times. It didn't change anything. – E. Morice Jan 18 '18 at 10:46
Last time I manually cleared `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\.android\build-cache` and `C:\Users\\.gradle\caches`and I removed the `build` folder at the root of the project. So AS had to rebuild everything and it solved the issue. – Eselfar Jan 18 '18 at 10:46
@Eselfar No changes either :( – E. Morice Jan 18 '18 at 10:55
still getting same issue ? – chandani c patel Jan 18 '18 at 12:49
@chandanicpatel yes. – E. Morice Jan 18 '18 at 12:51
delete this line : import android.R; and import it again – chandani c patel Jan 18 '18 at 12:55
you can downaload gradle manually and select this gradle by file->Setting->Build,Execution,Deployment->Gradle `select local gradle` and set the path here `https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip` – Vishal Yadav Jan 18 '18 at 13:24
@chandanicpatel the line "import android.R" was never here :) – E. Morice Jan 22 '18 at 13:57
@VishalYadav no changes with that either – E. Morice Jan 22 '18 at 13:57
