Question

I am new to android development I have installed SDK in netbeans 7.1.1 .
This is the default code which gets generated when i create a new android project in netbeans

package android.bug;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
  }
}

Default code should be free from errors but i am getting an error in the last line i.e “setContentView(R.layout.main)”

 error is : package R does not exist

But when i import R package in the above code then i get a different error in the same line i.e “setContentView(R.layout.main)”

 error :cannot find symbol : main 

Answer 1

you may have some errors in your res folder.

R.java is auto generated file. It wont create until you solve all your errors from res folder.

for example: error in main.xml

solve all errors, clean your project and

import yourpackagename.R;
