Unable to import ActionBarCompat from Android Support Library using Android Studio

Question

I use Android Studio and after this article from Google , as well as some other articles discussing how to use the new ActionBarCompat.

I downloaded the support library (Rev. 18) in the Android SDK Manager and added the following to my build.gradle

dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.0' } 

Now I'm trying to import the support library API and extend the ActionBarActivity in my code, however, this is what seemed

which is not what is supposed

 import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; 

Any help?

I have the same problem. I followed this step to solve it, in Android Studio - Tools -> Android -> project synchronization with Gradle files .

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to add this: After Sync Project with Gradle Files, follow these steps:

• Right click for your project and select Open Module Settings

• After that, select the dependencies tab

• At the end - select your library:

That should work.
