Android Studio: Gradle: Error: Cannot Find Symbol Variable

Android Gradle: Cannot find symbol Q

I believe the problem is that you're not using the correct buildTools. Try upgrading your build tools to at least Android 10.0 (Q) in the SDK Manager.

Assuming you're using Android Studio, click here

around the top of your screen, and then download at least Android 10.0 (Q) to get what you're looking for.

I do recommend, however, that you upgrade to the latests Android 11.0 (R) if you can instead to get all of the latests features!

Android Studio: Gradle: error: cannot find symbol variable

You shouldn't be importing android.R. That should be automatically generated and recognized. This question contains a lot of helpful tips if you get some error referring to R after removing the import.

Some basic steps after removing the import, if those errors appear:

• Clean your build, then rebuild
• Make sure there are no errors or typos in your XML files
• Make sure your resource names consist of [a-z0-9.]. Capitals or symbols are not allowed for some reason.
• Perform a Gradle sync (via Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files)

Android cannot find symbol variable error for spinner

I bet you didn't set the correct layout file in your Activity, make sure the XML layout file you are using is the one you think you are, and that you are setting it correctly.

Something like this:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

We can't tell with the limited amount of information you shared.

error: cannot find symbol variable activity_main

Try deleting the import statement import android.R. Most probably it will work, if it doesn't try clearing and rebuilding the project from the Build -> Clean Project, then Build -> Rebuild Project.
