Replacing extends AppCompatActivity with extends ListActivity isn't working

Like a few people on this task, I struggled to start an empty activity as per described in the question/s below. Following the listed possible solutions I added the import ........com.stormy.R which worked in getting rid of the highlighted errors, however, now I am replacing extends AppCompatActivity with extends ListActivity in DailyForecastActivity but it is coming up with cannot resolve symbol, AppCompatActivity is not mentioned in the tutorial video, is this an update and how do I resolve it?

Use Quick Fix (Alt+Enter or click the red lightbulb) with the cursor on ListActivity. It should auto-import for you or show you other options.

I was indeed missing an import statement (import android.app.ListActivity;), as always many thanks Seth.
