I just opened an older android app project and all of a sudden numerous R.string._var_Name errors were found. If I add “import android.R” then the _var_name becomes an issue saying “cannot be resolved or is not a field”. The translation is in /res/values/strings.xml . Any ideas why the error exists?
In my case import android.R was usually the problem. I then removed it and build again (eclipse) and than it worked. Cleaning the project often helps too.
Answer：
If your class files are not in your root package, you’ll need to import them at the top of your file like this:
your.package.name.R
Answer：
Go to Project>Properties>Builders and see if ‘Android Resource Manager’ is checked.
Or go to Project and do ‘Clean’ to rebuild the project.
Answer：
I had that problem when modify the samples of vuforia. I resolved that adding the string name=... necessary in the file strings.xml file.
