Android Support Library V7 Missing Appcompat

So when I import the Android Support Library v7 (appcompat JAR), I see that I get a noclassdeferror when trying to use it. This is because the package android.support.v7.appcompat

Solution 1:

You have to import the appcompat library in to your project...please check the following link for getting how to setup appcompat in your project..

thank you

Solution 2:

Also had this problem. Yes, I knew I need to use the SDK Manager dialog to download the support library from the extras folder, as per the Support Library Set-up link, but it wasn't listed there - there is only the "support repository".

The problem is that it is hidden by default, as it has been deprecated. You need to check the "show: obsolete" checkbox. And then it's available to download.

Solution 3:

You need to import support

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.android.support:support-core-utils:28.0.0"
}
