11,768 PointsWhen "Cannot resolve symbol" shows up as a compiler error (an error that happens when you try to run your program), it basically means that there is a reference missing in the code you've written. I'm not sure if you meant to include an example with this question since I'm not seeing one, but whenever I see it in my own experience it's because I either forgot to define a variable or misspelled something.
I would recommend checking over your code and looking for mistakes like a misspelled method or class name. A symbol, if I'm not mistaken, is something in your code that represents something else like a variable or a method. So if you have a method you have defined somewhere in your code that you then try to call somewhere else, but have it misspelled, you will likely get this error and it will give you a message showing which line of your code had the error. Here's a little more information on it that may be a little more concise than the way I've laid it out: http://www.tech-faq.com/cannot-resolve-symbol-error.html
