title: Android Studio "Cannot resolve symbol XXX" on basic Android tutorial
body: <p>I'm doing the entry level tutorial on the official Android docs. I'm currently at this step where I'm creating the second activity:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html</a></p>
  
  <p>The problem I'm seeing is in creating the new activity when I have to give it a hierarchical parent in the New Activities popup. I enter the name of the parent (com.juannerito.montaigne.MainActivity) but the popup doesn't recognize it and wont't let me create the new actvity.  </p>
  
  <p>Added to that I'm seeing a lot of "cannot resolve symbol" errors in the MainActivity class file. I'm not sure that these errors are having any material difference on the build (though I can't be really sure, as I'm a total noob), but i feel like I have to resolve these issues first before i can fix the real issue I'm having.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Android Studio 0.26 on MacOS X 10.8.4.</p>
  
  <p>any help gratefully appreciated!</p>
