Compiling simple wearable app in Android Studio - WatchActivity not found

I followed the instructions at this link to create a simple mobile/wearable app in Android Studio. However, it won't recognize any of the classes specific to the wearable SDK, giving the error "cannot resolve symbol ______". The screenshot at this link is what I am seeing.

The following is my build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'
    defaultConfig {
         applicationId 'com.example.lsykora.androidwearwidget'
         minSdkVersion 'L'
         targetSdkVersion 'L'
         versionCode 1
         versionName '1.0'
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-    rules.pro'
    }
}
productFlavors {}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
// You must install or update the Support Repository through the SDK manager to use      this dependency.
// You must install or update the Support Repository through the SDK manager to use this dependency.
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+'
compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:+'
}

I have installed all SDK's using SDK manager and I have tried tinkering with the minimum, target, and compile SDK's in the build.gradle file, setting them to 19, 20, or Android-L, but I'm having the same results - program won't compile because of these unrecognized classes. Any input is appreciated! Thanks

Don't extend WatchActivity (that class doesn't actually exist).

The base class for Android Wear activities is just the standard Activity.

(Also, if you're using Android Studio 0.8.0, update to 0.8.1 -- 0.8.0 has a bug in its templates and creates new Activities using extend WatchActivity, which is actually invalid).
