I'm new to Android programming and as a part of learning i tried to run this open source project(below) which ends up in an error at the import com.example.android.apis.R;. Also where and all there is R. As far as i know R.java is automatically generated and we don't need to create it or edit it. What is the reason for this error. Can anyone please explain this. I used Eclipse to run this project.
