This happens when you have 1 name for the Java class on hard disk and another name of Java class in the code    For example  I renamed my MainActivity class to MainnActivity only     in the code  I got this error immediately   There is also a visual indicator in the Project tab of Android Studio - a class inside a class  like you have nested classed  but with an error indicator      The solution is to simply rename class name in the Project tab  SHIFT   F6  to match the name in the Java code
