Share Latex's own bibliography example not working

Question

I am using the share latex own example given on their website to build a bibliography.

Here is my main.tex file

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

    \usepackage[english]{babel}

    \usepackage{biblatex}
    \addbibresource{sample.bib}

    \begin{document}
    Let's cite! The Einstein's journal paper \cite{1} 
    \printbibliography

    \end{document}

and here is my sample.bib file

@article{1,
    author =       "Albert Einstein",
    title =        "{Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter K{\"o}rper}. ({German})
    [{On} the electrodynamics of moving bodies]",
    journal =      "Annalen der Physik",
    volume =       "322",
    number =       "10",
    pages =        "891--921",
    year =         "1905",
    DOI =          "http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/andp.19053221004",
    keywords =     "physics"
}

I do this and the thing outputted as a reference in the document is whatever I have out in \cite{}.

Why is this not working?

I get an error now, It says

cannot find 'mybibliography.bib'!

The code works just fine (https://www.sharelatex.com/project/521ccc3fe1f4b692043d197d), are you doing this locally, or on ShareLaTeX? If locally, you need to make sure that you run biber in between runs of pdfLaTeX, see e.g. Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number and Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations — Torbjørn T., Jul 28 '16 at 13:47
Does https://www.sharelatex.com/project/521ccc3fe1f4b692043d197d work for you? Can you see any differences between that and your own project? — Torbjørn T., Jul 28 '16 at 13:51
@TorbjørnT. oops, I was looking at your sharelatex and edited the cite command (since it was referring to a non-existent entry); now I am wondering if you meant for it to be like that! Just a heads up. — Willie Wong, Jul 28 '16 at 13:53
@TorbjørnT. it works when I click on your link but not when I run mine on sharelatex even though they are exactly the same. I have included the error command which comes up now — Al jabra, Jul 28 '16 at 13:54
@WillieWong If the code there was anything different to what is given in the question (\cite{1}), then I must have changed it by accident, so thanks! — Torbjørn T., Jul 28 '16 at 13:58
Is your .bib file called mybibliography.bib? Is it in the same folder as the .tex file? — Torbjørn T., Jul 28 '16 at 14:05
I don't understand anything. I too got no bibliography for a while, and then I did something else for a while, and now it works.
It won't work unless the file name of the bibliography is sample.bib, of course. — Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren, Jul 28 '16 at 14:08
Then you need of course \addbibresource{sample.bib} as well, judging by the error message you posted you have used \addbibresource{mybibliography.bib}. — Torbjørn T., Jul 28 '16 at 14:18
not the cause of the error but don't use numbers as cite keys \cite{1} is going to be very confusing once there are more references and it gets numbered 27 or whatever. — David Carlisle, Jul 28 '16 at 17:26
@Torbjørn T. I checked, I did have \addbibresource{sample.bib} but it still does not work. — Al jabra, Jul 28 '16 at 18:24
Are you willing to let us have access to your project so we can see? — Torbjørn T., Jul 28 '16 at 18:28
Is there any news here? No helper was able to reproduce the issue. — Johannes_B, May 07 '17 at 07:42
