For me the problem was caused by a gradle properties file in the list of Gradle scripts  It showed as gradle properties  global  and refered to a file in C  users  gradle gradle properties  I right-clicked on it and selected delete from the menu to delete it  It deleted the file from the hard disk and my project now builds and runs  I guess that the global file was overwriting something that was used to locate the package android support

None of the above solutions worked for me  What finally worked was  Instead of import android support v4 content FileProvider   Use this import androidx core content FileProvider   This path is updated as of AndroidX  the repackaged Android Support Library

tl dr Remove all unused modules which have a dependency on the support library from your settings gradle   Long version   In our case we had declared the support library as a dependency for all of our modules  one app module and multiple library modules  in a common gradle file which is imported by every module  However there was one library module which wasn t declared as a dependency for any other module and therefore wasn t build  In every few syncs Android Studio would pick that exact module as the one where to look for the support library  that s why it appeared to happen randomly for us   As this module was never used it never got build which in turn caused the jar file not being in the intermediates folder of the module   Removing this library module from settings gradle and syncing again fixed the problem for us

boernard  s answer solves this from the Android Studio IDE  but if you want to understand what s happening under the covers  it s a simple gradle build file update   You can edit the build gradle file from within the IDE  left pane  Gradle Scripts -  build gradle  Module  app   or use the raw path   lt proj dir gt  app build gradle  and add update the following dependency section   dependencies                 IDE setting pulls in the specific version of v4 support you have installed               compile  com android support support-v4 21 0 3                 generic directive pulls in any available version of v4 support             compile  com android support support-v4        Using the above generic compile directive  allows you to ship your code to anyone  provided they have some level of the Android Support Libraries v4 installed

for some reasons this answer is related to Eclipse  NOT Android Studio    Have you tried setting the support libraries to your class path  This link from the Android Developer s website has some info on how to do that   Try following these steps from the website   Create a library project based on the support library code    Make sure you have downloaded the Android Support Library using the SDK Manager  Create a library project and ensure the required JAR files are included in the project s build path    Select File   Import  Select Existing Android Code Into Workspace and click Next  Browse to the SDK installation directory and then to the Support Library folder  For example  if you are adding the appcompat project  browse to  extras android support v7 appcompat   Click Finish to import the project  For the v7 appcompat project  you should now see a new project titled android-support-v7-appcompat  In the new library project  expand the libs  folder  right-click each  jar file and select Build Path   Add to Build Path  For example  when creating the the v7 appcompat project  add both the android-support-v4 jar and android-support-v7-appcompat jar files to the build path  Right-click the library project folder and select Build Path   Configure Build Path  In the Order and Export tab  check the  jar files you just added to the build path  so they are available to projects that depend on this library project  For example  the appcompat project requires you to export both the android-support-v4 jar and android-support-v7-appcompat jar files  Uncheck Android Dependencies  Click OK to complete the changes   You now have a library project for your selected Support Library that you can use with one or more application projects    Add the library to your application project  In the Project Explorer  right-click your project and select Properties  In the category panel on the left side of the dialog  select Android  In the Library pane  click the Add button  Select the library project and click OK  For example  the appcompat project should be  listed as android-support-v7-appcompat  In the properties window  click OK
