Question

Ok, I have been following a lesson sample at the Android Developer site and the code was thus:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText android:id="@+id/edit_message"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/edit_message" />
<Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/button_send" />
</LinearLayout>

Apparently, the code should be fine, after worrying I typed it in wrong, I ended up copying it directly but the Console is telling me:

Description
error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at ‘hint’ with value ‘@string/edit_message’).

Description
error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at ‘text’ with value ‘@string/button_send’).

Now these values are defined in the strings.xml file. So I have no idea why I would be getting these errors.

To anyone who can help here is a big thank you in advance.

Answer 1

make sure there is no capital characters or underscores in any file inside res.
Also , there must no any error inside the files of res and src ..
after that you have to clean the project as mentioned in previous answer.
Actually these errors prevent the R file to be updated which is necessary to access resources inside res file.
