Hi guys  

 

how are u ?!

 

 

I'm working on new Android app, 

but  there is an error prevent me from run the app recently:

 

R.layout.main

 

underline the R :

"R cannot be Resolved to a variable "

 

 

I've tried clean, build, import the R  &  I have even deleted my app & start again but nothing seems to change at all.

 

 

 

what shall I do ?!

 

 thanks in advance .

Sounds to me like the project is messed up. What IDE are you using?

Are you sure it's and android project type and the android SDK is linked?

 

if so, one way to go is use the clean and rescan directories utilities, and then rebuild all.

 

Sometimes IDE doesn't keep up with the project files and this kind of things happens.

oh , sorry. Eclipse.

Yeah, Sure. I've run it many times before.

& it was perfect.

I've just uninstalled  the IDE & re-instill it again & finally work correctly.

But that won't be fair to do that every time I face the same problem.

It consumes my time

 

Is there any way to avoid this error or any solution to face it off?!

 

also, the virtual device for the new instill doesn't show me the new app?!

 

&

 

Thanks for replay

Well... to be honest, my personal solution is not to use Eclipse! lol

I rather intellij-Idea, it's fairly more stable than eclipse, but it requires an a little more advanced user.

 

Java packages, projects, etc are tied up to directories, files, sometimes something changes, a path, or the way the ide scans the dir and your project goes awol. It happens less in IntelliJ than in Eclipse.

 

Still, one thing that could have happened is you updated (or it auto updated) eclipse or java or android sdk, some path changed, some config was lost and your project lost a link to a jar file, a sdk or the path for something.

That is why usually re scan makes the trick, as it did your re install.

Sorry but I have a silly question ;

can I open my project in intellij-Idea though I used the Eclipse to develop at the begining  ?!

So changing the paths again to defult can solved the problem?!

How can I do that ?!

 

sorry for annoying but I have to summit my work to the tutor this wensday.

& the problem appeares again ..

Nothing to be sorry about, if anyone it would be Eclipse who should be apologizing.

 

Yes, you can work with eclipse projects on intellij this way:

Go to create project, fill whatever field you got, then in one of the next> it gives the option: Create from existing folder, there select your eclipse project folder and then it will ask you if you want to import the project
