I copied my program at work to another computer so I can work on it here. When I try to create New project from existing code I get the dreaded R. cannot be resolved to a variable.
Apparently, R.java is supposed to be in the gen folder but it isn’t. Eclipse tells me to import R.java but we all know that isn’t correct.
None of the many answers I have seen explain or solve my problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I’ve cleaned the project – as advised – many times after doing other things but it does nothing.
try doing something like this type R and give a control + space. It will give few suggestions among which you may have the R.java file related to your project. Import that R instead of the default android.R . Before doing all these check if your project shows any errors in the xml files. If you have any errors in any of your xml files the R.java file will not be created
