If the project already contains a file default properties you can open that file and edit save it  add a space  save  remove that space  save   That worked for me   A note with the above discussion      R java is getting generated automatically by doing the above described process  When I go and remove it  it gets generated again  Neither is it allowing me to edited the automatically generated one      Compuser7   With respect to the comment quoted above  R java is indeed an automatically generated class that contains references to all the resources  in the res folder  that belong with your project   When Eclipse rebuilds  this file is regenerated  since most application  I mean Java code  rely on the fact that there are some resources  images  layouts and string values  available  When you remove the file R java through Eclipse  Eclipse will see this change in the project as a reason to automatically rebuild  see the options under Project  the project  regenerating the R java file   So DON T try to remove R java  because Eclipse will regenerate it as soon as you rebuild the project  which will result in a match of patience
