Cannot resolve symbols 'widget' and 'v7'. How do I fix this?

Question

Android studio cannot resolve symbols widget and v7

I've tried :- restarting, importing, commenting the implementation statements and syncing it again, make sure libraries are up-to-date

import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

Do you've support library in build.gradle file ? – Abhishek Aryan Jun 27 '19 at 10:53 — Abhishek Aryan, Jun 27 '19 at 10:53

Maybe your Android studio has migrated your project to androidx. For further info check this link https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

Use those instead if that's the case,

import androidx.cursoradapter.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

The SimpleCursorAdapter worked but the other one didn't. Do you know the import statement for ActionBarActivity? – sidharth sunilkumar Jun 28 '19 at 15:55
The use of ActionBarActivity now is deprecated, so you need to use AppCompatActivity instead. https://stackoverflow.com/a/30383319/9210401 – Mohimenul Joaa Jun 29 '19 at 15:13
