Java Question class file for android.arch.lifecycle.LifecycleOwner not found

Have never seen this one and cannot find anything on the forum. Any ideas?

Starting step: Compiling Java code.
javac 1.8.0_66

Error.

My SDK manager shows that all android.arch.lifecycle.xxxx are up to date (Version 1.1.1)

May be related... it seems that ActionBarActivity is long-ago deprecated and "they" recommend extending AppCompatActivity or directly Activity instead of ActionBarActivity, since both already implement an ActionBar and dependencies are simplified.
