I added android-support-v7-cardview, android-support-v7-gridlayout, android-support-v7-recyclerview and android-support-v7-appcompat to my project. I am using intellij idea
a at API level 22

I'm still using Eclipse and not Intellij, but it might help you as I stumbled upon this very error today after updating to the latest support library. I used to just use recyclerview utility which was copied to my project folder and added in dependencies. Apparently this is no longer the case. I had to re-add the library as a "resource library" - much like adding a map library.
For Eclipse, I just followed the instructions at https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html from the Adding Resource Libraries section. FWIW I had to mark the newly added recyclerview as a library during the import process (it is not by default and this step was skipped in the instructions)
Hope this helps!

I got a similar error again. Make sure you are not using
<RecyclerView>
as stated in your code, and using
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
and that your build.gradle file has the following code
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.1'}
Taking care of these two things fixed the error for me. If you have done anything else in your case, then please share your code so that I can point out the cause of the error.

I faced the same error today. I opened my project structure -> Modules. Expand the module and select the Android option. Install support library modules as "Library Module" then it worked
I hope this helps Screenshot of the project structure
