package android.support.v7.internal.widget does not exist and package AdapterViewCompat does not exist

Question

After switching to API - 24, and updating a few Gradle dependencies, I got several errors. I do not know what could be going on. Any ideas? Here is my Build.Gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'

        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'qksms-proguard.pro'
    }
}

compileOptions {

Errors: package android.support.v7.internal.widget does not exist and package AdapterViewCompat does not exist

Answer 1

Since the appcompat v.23.2.0 the android.support.v7.internal package was removed.

It is an internal package and you shouldn't use it.
