May sound all too easy for some, but I'm just getting started on android development and I can't find out why I got an error when everything is exactly as it is in the tutorial. Weird but I'm confused so I thought I'd post to see if someone can help me out here.
Error is: Gradle: error: cannot find symbol variable container at line (23,30)
MainActivity.Java

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
.commit();
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override

// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long

case R.id.action_settings:
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
