I was doing some work on my app when I accidentally deleted the file R.java in the gen folder. Is there any way to get it back? I need it because it is giving ever activity errors. I tried copying my data into another application and that didn't work. I also checked my recycle bin and there was no file and cleaned. Please help?

Usually the `R.java` is auto generated when you delete it, make sure the `xml` file has no error – Sieryuu Sep 02 '13 at 03:05

Several ways to get out:
- Simply modify(add a white space or so) in one of your resource files and save it, if the eclipse is enabled 'build automatically', the R.java will be re-generated again.
- Go to project - clean project, clean your project and it will be re-generated when you run the project again

Please check if there is any error in your resource files. Are you using eclipse or any other IDE? Or just native command line build? – Robin Sep 02 '13 at 03:23

It is automatically generated file
Just clean and rebuild you project If there is no error{there must not any xml error which neither shown error nor let R.java build} then it will create your R.java file
again
Every Successful build just re-create new R.java file

R.java is auto generated when you delete it, make sure the xml file has no error . If this is also not solving your problem the start doing your project from scratch no copy paste.
