iText document - resolve symbol

Question

I am using iText in android app to create pdf.

 try{

        File file=new File("test.pdf");
        FileOutputStream fileout=new FileOutputStream(file);
        Document document=new Document();


    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

this gives an error (Document abstract class - cannot be instantiated).

Even after importing import com.itextpdf.text.Document;

It shows this thing:

Cannot resolve symbol 'itextpdf'

document is displayed as error.

Any solution?

Seems like package itextpdf is not being resolved. Did you add it to your dependencies? — Guilherme Lemmi, Oct 16 '18 at 17:53
compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10' ->After adding this dependency it gave this error->Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@debug/compileClasspath': Could not resolve com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10. — echoaman, Oct 16 '18 at 18:16
com.itextpdf.text.Document is not abstract class so it should be instantiated — Sasikumar Murugesan, Oct 17 '18 at 03:41
One of my friend changed build variants and it worked somehow.IDK how though — echoaman, Oct 17 '18 at 16:05

First have to add "compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10'" in gradle properties.

Second you could try:

Exit Android Studio
Back up your project
Delete all the .iml files and the .idea folder
Relaunch Android Studio and re-import your project

By the way, the error messages you see in the Project Structure dialog are not actual issue for the most part.

compile group: 'com.itextpdf', name: 'itextpdf', version: '5.0.6' ->add this under dependencies of gradle app? – echoaman Oct 16 '18 at 17:25
Please add in build.gradle file, dependencies { compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10' } – Hasanuzzaman Rana Oct 17 '18 at 03:22

For first error try with

 try{

    File file=new File("test.pdf");
    FileOutputStream fileout=new FileOutputStream(file);
    com.itextpdf.text.Document document=new com.itextpdf.text.Document();


} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Second

Cannot resolve symbol 'itextpdf'

Android Studio says "cannot resolve symbol" but project compiles

iText document - resolve symbol
