Lint can help you. Try to check your project. Look at the screen : enter image description here

In Eclipse if you updated android sdk Lint tool will automatically come with a plugin, it will give warnings about xml resources which are not referenced.

On the command line, you can use android lint (as said in the comment by @Lalit Poptani). Inside the project, you just type

ant lint

The warnings look like

Warning: The resource R.string.... appears to be unused
[UnusedResources]
[lint] some text
