cannot resolve symbol '?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless'

Question

I'm facing a strange issue. When I use following attributes that perfectly working and I can see the ripple effect in the device.

android:foreground="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"

android:background="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"

But in IDE It shows an error cannot resolve symbol '?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless'.

Android Studio: v3.1.2

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"

support_version = '27.1.1'

what could be the issue?

Do you have maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } in your gradle? — Skizo-ozᴉʞS ツ, May 08 '18 at 07:27
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground" also same — Bhuvanesh BS, May 08 '18 at 07:28
@ZezariyaNilesh is better : android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground" — Skizo-ozᴉʞS ツ, May 08 '18 at 07:28
@BhuvaneshBS may be isuue with `27.0.3` try to use `27.0.2` it will work — AskNilesh, May 08 '18 at 07:30
android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless" and remove error use tools:ignore="NewApi". — Rohan Lodhi, May 08 '18 at 12:59

From API version Level 21 onwards use:

android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
