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:

and see if ‘Android Resource Manager’ is checked.
Or go to Project and do ‘Clean’ to rebuild the project.
