Although this question has been asked before, none of the solutions are working for me.
The problem is that suddenly out of nowhere Android Studio started throwing the error that Cannot resolve symbol AppCompatActivity. On clicking Alt+Enter on my Windows, it shows me
Add library 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2' to classpath
as one of the options.
Even though I have the following dependency in my gradle which always worked till today
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
So far I have tried
None of these solutions work and I am not able to understand what the issue is. This already ended up wasting lots of development time. Can someone please help. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the help however I had to uninstall and reinstall Android Studio and only then the errors went away.
