every time I try to use something from my resources like a layout file 

R.id.frameTwo

R cannot be found and android studio automatically puts android. before the R so it does not find any of my resources and I have errors all over the place.

the error is Cannot resolve symbol R

Why cant my resources be found?

  • Try a gradle clean and build? http://stackoverflow.com/a/18183656/864538 Is this a fresh project? – Nick Nov 06 '13 at 02:41
  • @Nick how do you do the gradle cean, the link does not really say. yes the project is new I just copied over a bunch of java and xml files over – tyczj Nov 06 '13 at 02:47
  • Open command prompt or terminal and cd to your project directory and run gradelw clean. Also which version of Android Studio are you running? – Nick Nov 06 '13 at 02:52

Check that your package is correct at the top. Sometimes Android Studio does weird things. It could be:

package com.yourpackage.applicationname

Also check if there is an import statement with R in it. If there is remove it as it's not needed.

You should import com.yourpackage.application.R.

If R.java isn't being properly generated, the problem is in your XML files. Figure out what's going wrong there.
