Android Studio 3.0 cannot resolve symbol Theme

Question

As stated in style.xml, there is a weird error, which shows Cannot resolve symbol \'Theme\', which is quite strange.

See pic of the error :-

Another possible reason is: Google's maven repository is not set for the build script.

Open your project's main build.gradle add this line:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()  <-- this
        // Be also sure that google() is before jcenter()
    }
}

Without this, it may not be able to download the Android Studio Gradle plugin 3.0+. It's not distributed in jCenter but in the Google's maven repository.
