I'm trying to use OkHttpClient in Android Studio 4.1.3 and I'm getting the error "Cannot resolve symbol 'OkHttpClient'".

I've found a number of posts for this problem but none solve my issue.

I added the following line to the dependencies section of my project's build.gradle (:app) file and then clicked 'Sync now'.

implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.12.0'

No errors were reported by the sync operation.

I then added the following import statement to a file.

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;

This shows as an error with the message "Cannot resolve symbol 'OkHttpClient'".

I tried adding the following line to my code.

OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient();

But holding my mouse over this line does not give me an option to import a class, instead it just shows the "Cannot resolve symbol 'OkHttpClient'" message.

Is there anything else that I need to do on top of adding the dependency line to the gradle file and syncing?

I don't know if you imported the package, you can check the external libraries for okhttp3, you can also try to clean up Gradle cache and re-sync, I think the biggest problem is probably version incompatibility.You can try to change the api version and then recompile the project
