New Android Studio: Cannot resolve symbol 'ContextCompat'

After updating Android Studio, I found some red rows in my project.

What I have.

I call this method:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 21) {
    orangeProgressBar(progressBar);
}

Using of red ContextCompat.getColor(): enter image description here

private void orangeProgressBar(ProgressBar pb) {
    int color = ContextCompat.getColor(pb.getContext(), R.color.orange);
    ...
}

Of course, importing:

implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.1'

import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat; enter image description here

Studio can't import content.ContextCompat, because it seems like android.support.v4.content. have not this child

Deleting the .gradle and .idea did not work for me. What worked was the following:

In Android Studio close all projects

In the Welcome To Android Studio Screen:

  • remove all the projects by clicking the X in the top right corner, or right click, choose "Remove Selected From Welcome Screen"
  • Close Android Studio
  • Re-open Android Studio,
  • Open an existing Android Studio project Navigate to the project
  • It re-built and the errors were gone.

I had the same problem after updating the Android Studio but the below solution worked for me:

Deleting the .gradle and .build folder from your respective project directory structure and rebuild the project.I'm not so sure about what it does but i think it deleted all the previous build caches other build related files and regenerated it that's why it's worked for me.
