Question

im working on an excercise for a class where we build a cannon app game for android, shown here in this link.

http://www.sci.tamucc.edu/~akatangur/su12/COSC4590/Androidfp_07.pdf

the entire walkthrough is here. so it should have no problem if i copy the instructions exactly. yet i cant compile because i get this same error R cannot be resolved to a variable” “

when i try and clean the project i get this:

[2012-07-18 16:19:34 - CannonGame]   C:\Users\Gaming\workspace\CannonGame\res\menu\main.xml:2: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'title' with value '@string/menu_settings').
[2012-07-18 16:30:45 - CannonGame] W/ResourceType( 5384): Bad XML block: header size 169 or total size 0 is larger than data size 0

im a bit confused can someone explain this and how to fix this?

thanks

You must define your string menu_setting in values/strings.xml like

<resources>
<string name="menu_setting">Your String</string>
</resources>
