I've recently decided to change my work environment from Eclipse to Android Studio. I decided to import my Eclipse project through Android Studio.
Problem is, when I compile my code, I come across 2 errors which says that it cannot find two existing symbols. These symbols are in fact two png pictures which are saved in res < drawable < hdpi. Still, the program can't locate just these two pictures. I have a bunch of other pictures which works perfectly in the same folder. I have controlled this by removing the two pictures causing me the errors and tested the app with successful results.
Here is the entire error message:
(1)
Error:(101, 32) error: cannot find symbol variable thegodfather
Error:(101, 78) error: cannot find symbol variable kingofcomedy

The pictures are saved in an array and here's the array:
flag = new int[] {R.drawable.thegodfather,R.drawable.thegeneral,R.drawable.kingofcomedy,
R.drawable.drstrangelove}
The two R.drawables which aren't working are .thegodfather and .kingofcomedy.
I have checked that the resources actually exists, and even removed and replaced them, without any luck.
I have looked around Stack to find an answer and found many similar problems but those one's were solved by either cleaning the project, invalidating and restarting or rebuilding or even restarting the program. None of these have worked for me.
Here is my gradle.build code:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.exple.v1"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
And here is the beginning of my manifest file just in case anyone needs to have a look at it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.exple.v1"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="15"
android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
After looking around a bit, I think I've found my problem but I'm not sure where to Implement the solution code, which is in the link if you click on it. Is it the upper or lower gradle build ?
