I am going insane trying to figure this out. It makes no sense at all. I have added the required implementation in my build.gradle file and synced it up just fine, but when I try to use ExoPlayer it isn't found. I have even tried manually entering in the import line using auto-complete and the only things available in auto-complete for com.google.android.exoplayer2 are Buildconfig and R. I don't know what is going on. I had a project that used it and everything was great. I hadn't opened it in a long time, but wanted to re-learn it, so I opened it, now no matter what I do it can't find the symbol for ExoPlayer.
Here is my build.gradle file...

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
In it you can see ...
implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:r2.5.0'
and the app will do gradle sync properly, but in my app all of the following is red...
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlayerFactory;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.SimpleExoPlayer;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.extractor.DefaultExtractorsFactory;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.extractor.ExtractorsFactory;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.source.ExtractorMediaSource;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.source.MediaSource;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.trackselection.AdaptiveTrackSelection;

import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DataSource;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DefaultBandwidthMeter;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DefaultDataSourceFactory;
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.util.Util;
Everything after the exoplayer2. is red. It can't find the symbol for anything. In an attempt to assure myself I wasn't going nuts I started a new project, added the implementation for exoplayer in my fresh clean build.gradle file, opened up the main activity and type in
SimpleExoPlayer player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this);
And it cannot find the symbol. Can't import it, it still just shows the BuildConfig and R symbols for everything after the com.google.android.exoplayer2. I have tried updating to a newer version like 2.10.1, which causes build failures something about merging the android manifests failing, on a brand new clean app. So I can't update the version, but all of a sudden no matter what I do Android Studio can't find ExoPlayer symbols.
