this is my build.gradle (App Module)

   apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "fitness.aclass.fitness"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 24
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'

    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Any solution for this.!

Answer 1

CoordinatorLayout is part of design library. So you should add

implementation' com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

or 24.2.0 version if you need to use outdated version for some reason.

Answer 2

Try to clean project from Build menu some time due to gradle build caching it happens. and one more thing try to use latest one as they have resolved many issues.
