Try moving your layout xml from res layout-land to res layout folder

User · Answer

Make sure that the R you are pointing to is the correct one  I had a problem very similar to this  where an import got inserted by Eclipse that pointed to the System R file rather than the project one  It took a lot of head scratching  Hope this helps

User · Answer

For me cache invalidation and restart didn t work  I removed the  idea and  gradle folders  If you do that  don t forget that things like build logs or something might go away though

User · Answer

Since you are setting the layout explicitly you might want to try and put it in the default  layout folder not in the  layout-land since that is if you want Android to automatically handle rotation for you

User · Answer

You have screen orientation set to landscape in your xml  If you have used eclipse to generate this file it would have created under res layout-land  folder But when you open activity in Portrait mode application will search for xml in res layout-port  folder or the regular res layout   If you didn t have xml for portrait mode your application will crash

This can also cause some trouble  Accidentally one of my layouts was parked in my tablet resources folder  so I got this error only with phone layout  The phone layout simply had no suitable layout file   I worked again after moving the layout file in the correct standard folder and a following project rebuild

in eclipse  go to Project   Clean    select your project  then press OK relaunch the app   if it happens again delete the r java file  it will generate automatically

In my case my Build Tools version in my build gradle for the app module was outdated on an old project  Updating it fixed the issue   android               buildToolsVersion  19 0 1            Updated to the latest build tools version  25 0 1  and sync d the project and all was well again

For my condition the cause was taking int parameter for TextView  Let me show an example  int i   5  myTextView setText i     gets the error info above   This can be fixed by converting int to String like this  myTextView setText String valueOf i      As you write int  it expects a resource not the text that you are writing  So be careful on setting an int as a String in Android

I got this error from yet another reason   I had the file res xml data xml and I was trying to load it with Resources class like this   Resources getSystem   getXml R xml data     However this is incorrect as the method Resources getSystem   returns a global shared Resources object that provides access to only system resources   The correct way is as follows  from inside Activity    this getResources   getXml R xml data

User · Answer

This can happen due to a different language in the phone for which your code doesn t have the asset for  For example your preference xml is placed in xml-en and you are trying to run your app in a phone which has French selected  the app will crash

User · Answer

I deleted folders build inside a project  After cleaned and rebuilt it in Android Studio  Then corrected errors in build gradle and AndroidManifest

User · Answer

I have fixed the by this way   Create a folder in your resource directory name  drawable-nodpi  and then move yours all resources in this directory from others drawable directory   Now clean your project and then rebuilt  Run again hopefully it will work this time without any resource not found exception

Check to make sure that your imports are correct  I had a similar problem where R was pointing to the Android system R file  not my local one
