Project-> clean-> clean all project does nothing . I deleted import android.R does nutting. What should i do? see the screenshot. R not generated in gen folder
Generally in android there are two different R files you can acces:
android.R - provided by the android platformR - holding your resourcesYou have to import your R file, not the android.R, in order to access your layout.
This is done using your package name on import like this:
import your.package.name.R;
The android.R is used for resources provided by the android platform, while your R file contains the resource you added to the project.
Manifest with package="...". From the screenshot it looks like that might be differentTry to clean you project and build. it will work. Kindly remove import android.R; in your activity
'R.layout' is not able to find your layout that means 'R' is not pointing to your application resources. It possibly is pointing to android's resources because this R is of android sub-system.
Look at the import statement, R probably will be of android.R. So you need to tell that you need your R file to use your resources. So you need to import yourpkg.R.
If your layout contains some error then your R would be created in build process. So if your R is not getting created. Check your layouts and fix the issue in layout files.
This post may help in getting to know about Why R file is not generated.
