В AndroidStudio File->InvalidateCahces . Можно еще Build->Clean Project .

Обновление

Если вы открываете проект взятый, например, из GitHub, и меняете, например, имя пакета, то данные о путях к классам которые хранятся в кэше соответственно другие. Когда вы очищаете кеш, система подхватывает изменения.

При сознании новых прогектов в Android Studio начал получать ошибку "Сannot resolve symbol "R"".

Проблема возникает из-за "недоработки" в библиотеке совместимости "appcompat". Решение простое. Необходимо изменить текущую версию библиотеки на стабильную, например на "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0" (по состоянию на 2017.01.05).

Как это сделать? Идем в структуру проекта "File->Project Structure".

В открывшемся окне, в левой части формы, выбираем "app" и переходим на вкладку "Dependensies".
