Android Studio Cant resolve symbol 'R' first Project

Question

I just started my first time android studio. Tried to run hello world but got an error. "Cant resolve symbol 'R' " tips from the internet like clear and rebuild didn´t work! I haven´t changed anything after creating the project. I also reinstalled android studio multiple times now but the problem is still there. Until now i have no clue about android studio but experience with java.

Nothing is changed and i allways get the red R. i would be so thankfull if you can help me out of this.

Edit: the duplicate is very similar but i´ve looked up my files now, but i found no error. I don´t use Eclipse btw.

If i add an:import android.R; the problem seems to be solved but activity_main gets red then. And i prefer a "normal" solution. There must be a difference why other people can run hello world without problems. While checking the log i found something.C:\Users\J?rgen\....... file not found. this occures multiple times all files are in the right direction. but the non ascii char could cause the problem.

I had a similar problem before, is it possible to move the automatically created files to something like C:\xyz....

There is likely a problem in one of your resource files. Carefully read the error messages. — Henry, Jan 25 '18 at 10:55
This sounds like you have an error somewhere in a resource or XML file. Please check the log for build errors, fix them and then try a build again — techfly, Jan 25 '18 at 11:00

Try Invalidating Caches. You will get this option in Android Studio Files -> Invalidate Cache/Restart.
