It happens to me when I delete not needed string resource name="action_settings"

Just write it back and everything was fine

I have the same problem.Check out all your .xml files and make sure nothing wrong with them.

Do You have verbose output enabled in Your Preferences>Android>Build>Build Output?

If so, please change it to Normal. Probably it is the issue.

i did the same but again getting same problem.

Running Project>Clean didn't help either? Can You send logs before this crash? Maybe some other resources are incorrect?

if i clean the project , it does not generate R.java file.

And do You have something logged on console before that? If turning off verbose mode doesn't help turn it on again and provide us logs :)

This also happened to me once, when i added a existing file to my project named pin-1.png. then I renamed my file to pin1.png, and thats solves my problem.
