IntelliJ IDEA "cannot resolve symbol" and "cannot resolve method"

For me, I had to remove the intellij internal sdk and started to use my local sdk. When I started to use the internal, the error was gone.

Most likely JDK configuration is not valid, try to remove and add the JDK again as I've described in the related question here.


I was facing the same problem when import projects into IntelliJ.

for in my case first, check SDK details and check you have configured JDK correctly or not.

Go to File-> Project Structure-> platform Settings-> SDKs

Check your JDK is correct or not.

Next, I Removed project from IntelliJ and delete all IntelliJ and IDE related files and folder from the project folder (.idea, .settings, .classpath, dependency-reduced-pom). Also, delete the target folder and re-import the project.

The above solution worked in my case.


First check if you have configured JDK correctly:

  • Go to File->Project Structure -> SDKs
  • your JDK home path should be something like this: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachine/jdk.1.7.0_79.jdk/Contents/Home
  • Hit Apply and then OK

Secondly check if you have provided in path in Library's section

  • Go to File->Project Structure -> Libraries
  • Hit the + button
  • Add the path to your src folder
  • Hit Apply and then OK

This should fix the problem
