I created a new layout file in the appropriate resource folder. After syncing, when I try to reference the layout file, i.e. R.layout.activity_test, R is an "unresolved symbol". When I try to build in AS it fails.

The interesting thing is that if I manually import the R file and use it in code, when I try to build on command line, it works. The other thing is when I try to access the layout file using R in a Java file, that also works. So I know R.java is being generated.

I tried creating a totally new project, and R is accessible in Kotlin files.

What is the problem here?

Things I have tried:

  • Cleaned then built

  • Invalidated Caches / Restart

  • Blow away .gradle folders and recreate indexes

Other info:

  • AS v3.0.1

  • Tried both Kotlin v1.1.2-4 and v1.1.60

  • Gradle v4.2.1

  • Gradle Plugin v3.0.0

Invalidate Caches/Restart worked for me.

Runtime JAR files in the classpath should have the same version. These files were found in the classpath:

Add the following under android section in your application module:

android {
  ...
  sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
  }
}

This lets Android Studio know that the kotlin directory is a source root, so when the project model is loaded into the IDE it will be properly recognized. Alternatively, you can put Kotlin classes in the Java source directory, typically located in src/main/java.

If you have a warning in your project please fix it. in my case my Gradle version had a version Compile warning. the App runs fine but the R class was not recognized, so I change the gradle version and fix the warnings and all works well.
