Question

I am new to Android and I don’t know much about Android. Well I have created a layout named button-layout.xml and the very firstly I added a relative layout to and and named it too button-layout.

What happens is that it created R.java and crated a reference to my layout with name public static final int button-layout=0x7f060000; as you people know that you can not use – in your variable name as it is illegal.

Now I want to clean my R.java do any body knows solution of this problem?

Pasting my code below
button-layout.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/button-layout">
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/button-layout"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
        <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="First Name"></TextView>
        <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:width="100px"></EditText>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02"
        android:layout_below="@id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView02"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Last Name"></TextView>
        <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText02"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:width="100px"></EditText>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout03"
        android:layout_below="@id/LinearLayout02" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true">
        <Button android:id="@+id/Button01"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Submit"></Button>
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

The R.java file is automatically generated by resource compiler (AAPT). So every time you make changes to your project, and save, the R.java file is rebuilt.
