    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

Answer 1

None of the given solutions worked for me. The thing that worked for me was:

• Exit Android Studio
• Find AndroidStudio3.2 (or whatever your version is) folder
• Go to AndroidStudio3.2 -> system -> caches
• Delete that folder
• Restart Android Studio

It will re-index your files and that thing will work

Answer 2

I solved the very same issue by doing this

Close Android Studio

deleting :

1 .android

2 .AndroidStudio

3 .gradle

from C:\Users\[your user name]

Start Android studio ( Will take some time to rebuild)
