Android: RecyclerView cannot be resolved to a type

RecyclerView cannot be resolved to a type? How to resolve it?

We need recyclerview-v7 Support Library to solve the issue. but how to get? letc check...

Check whether Recyclerview is existing in the SDK or not because it is a part of the support library.

If you're not find the folder “recyclerview-v7” in the following sdk directory "..\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support" then follow the steps otherwise follow from step 3.

Steps to achieve:

1. Select the latest Android SDK Tools, Platform-tools, and Build-tools.
2. Select latest Android Support Library & Android Support Repository.
3. After updating Android Support Repository from SDK Manager go to..\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\recyclerview-v7\21.0.0-rc1
4. Unzip recyclerview-v7-21.0.0-rc1.aar
5. After unzipping recyclerview-v7-21.0.0-rc1.aar you will get classes.jar
6. rename classes.jar to recyclerView.jar for feature reference and add to your Android app under /lib folder

Overview:

RecyclerView updates and replaces ListView. It's claimed to be easier to use and feature performance improvements in dynamic views.

RecyclerView is easy to use, because it provides:

• A layout manager for positioning items
• Default animations for common item operations

The most important classes of the RecyclerView API.

Class	Usage
Adapter	The Adapter is also responsible for making a View for each item in the data set.
LayoutManager	A layout manager positions item views inside a RecyclerView and determines when to reuse item views that are no longer visible to the user.
ItemAnimator	Animations for adding and removing items are enabled by default in RecyclerView
