RelativeLayout "Couldn't resolve resource..." Android

When using the below code, I get an error "Couldn't resolve resource @id/item1" Why is this? id/item1 is added before I use it, so I'm not sure why this is coming up.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/item1"
        android:layout_width="50dip"
        android:layout_height="50dip"
        android:src="@drawable/noimage" />
    <TextView         
        android:id="@+id/item2"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Title"
        android:padding="3dip" 
        android:textSize="20dip"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/item1"/>
    <TextView         
        android:id="@+id/item3"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Content"
        android:padding="3dip" 
        android:textSize="20dip"
        android:layout_below="@id/item1"/>

</RelativeLayout>

As Jose said, sometimes Android Studio just gets crazy. But a restart ain't always enough.

Invalidate your caches and restart.

File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart... -> Invalidate and Restart

Menu Selection enter image description here

Wait until AS has completely restarted and rebuilt. Hopefully it'll behave logically.

Some times the IDE gets crazy. :) Just restart the Android Studio, as said before by @JasonAxelson, @AlexLockwood, @craned and @PhilippGächter.

Had this problem on 2 computers with Android Studio. Helped to open Gradle and re-sync the project (shown on the screenshot posted previously) Resync

I have the same error when I import a project form other devices. Sometimes, the reason of this error is the wrong android SDK path in your current developing environment.

enter image description here

You need change your local android SDK path.

1 Open local.properties

enter image description here

2 Replace the sdk.dir path use your local SDK path.

enter image description here

3 Refresh your project and Close your Android Studio.

enter image description here

4 Open the Android Studio, Everything is OK.

This happens when you forget to save the /res/values/strings.xml

RelativeLayout “Couldn't resolve resource… ... you need to define String Resources in res/values/strings.xml

I don't have this error with your code.

Make sure you don't have errors in other resources (layouts, values, drawables, etc.). And then clean/refresh/build the project
