R.raw.anything cannot be resolved

Question

I'm developing an android apps with Eclipse.

In my app, I try to read a file : data.xml. I put it in res/raw/, and to access it i'm supposed to use getRessources().openRawResource(R.raw.data);

But Eclipse show me an error : "data" cannot be resolved or is not a field.

But the field is in the gen/R.java !!!

public final class R {
    public static final class raw {
            public static final int data=0x7f040000;
     }
}

Any ideas ? Thanks

Solution : Import the right R.java files ! import my_package.R;

Stop trusting ctrl+shift+O ...

Your are importing the wrong R file. Import your_package.R file instead of android.R file — Mojo Risin, May 04 '11 at 13:39
have you cleaned the project? Or restarted eclipse? if there are Any R. imports, delete them and clean/rebuild -- you should Not import R. of any kind — Dan, May 04 '11 at 13:39

I already faced this problem several weeks ago. You simply have to use com.example.R (where com.example is the name of your package), because your IDE thinks that you are using android.R by default. Try this out.

Cleaning and rebuilding does not fix the problem he has with importing the wrong R. – Alexander Dec 02 '11 at 13:48

Or just delete import android.R;.
