package BottomNavigationView does not exist

So I'm working in Android Studio (2.3.1) and I created a Bottom Navigation Activity, but I keep getting an error saying that the BottomNavigationView does not exist or cannot be found.

     Error:(5, 37) error: cannot find symbol class BottomNavigationView
     Error:(14, 33) error: package BottomNavigationView does not exist
     Error:(15, 39) error: package BottomNavigationView does not exist
     Error:(41, 9) error: cannot find symbol class BottomNavigationView
     Error:(41, 44) error: cannot find symbol class BottomNavigationView
     Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
     > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

UPDATE

You should migrate to androidx package:

com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01

You can find here the mappings between the old support package and the new android package: AndroidX Migration

Have you added the right dependency in the app level build.gradle?

compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'

Look at this link for more informations.

I met a relay dumb situation that I had used the 25 level SDK but it still says that after a full sync and rebuilt. So I add this manual import to my Java file and the error was finally gone.

import android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView;

At your build.gradle (Module:app) add this line of code:

compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'

Google added BottomNavigationView in version 25.0.0, so the required dependency is com.android.support:design:25.0.0 which you might be missing.

For more information visit Official Android BottomNavigationView page

Thanks!
