package android.support.v4.util does not exist

Question

Since the last update for android support libraries, I am having issues with importing LruCache. Eclipse, and now even android studio, keep saying that package android.suppo

Answer 1

If you're using Gradle, I had to also add this line to the dependencies section of my inner build.gradle, the file where you specify your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion:

dependencies {
  compile "com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.+"
}

I believe the '19' is supposed to be whatever your compileSdkVersion. If I'm wrong, it will tell you what it's supposed to be.

Answer 2

In my case with Android Studio, this error appeared in the middle of a working project and refused to disappear despite much fooling around. I finally forced a Gradle Sync operation by adding a single space character to a Gradle file. The Gradle Sync fixed it instantly.

Answer 3

craned's answer:

dependencies {
    compile "com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.+"
}

worked for me. But (in my case at least) the '19' should match the compileSdkVersion

Answer 4

In my case the problem was referencing the jar from sdk installation folder, copying the jar to project's libs folder adding to build path actually resolved the issue.

Answer 5

add dependency

dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'}

Change Build Tool

 dependencies {  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'}

Worked for me.
