R cannot be resolved to a variable: Chromecast example

Question

I am trying to run the following project that I cloned with a Git hub: https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-android .

For some reason, even after several cleanings and building and reloading the project, I get the following error:

R cannot be resolved by a variable .

Found the culprit in the provided manifest file.

No resources were found, which matches the name:

android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" 
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat" 

and the provided menu.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >

    <item
        android:id="@+id/media_route_menu_item"
        android:title="@string/media_route_menu_title"
        app:actionProviderClass="android.support.v7.app.MediaRouteActionProvider"
        app:s="always"/>

</menu>

Resource ID not found for attribute "actionProviderClass" in package "com.example.casthelloworld"

Resource ID not found for attribute 'showAsAction' in package 'com.example.casthelloworld'
