Using Eclipse on win XP. I've previously created an app or 2, but am now working on the 'real' version and get the above error.

I was having funnies creating a 1.5 version, so have started a new project for 2.1.

package xxx.guest;

import android.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class briefme extends Activity {

 private String strURL;
           ........
           ........ 

 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.main );

Project as below (note I've removed some names for confidentiality reasons!)

Any ideas what's gone wrong?

Thanks,

Martin.

In my case this happened because their was a layout resource with upper case letters in the file name. Resources weren't compiled because of the error and because of that the R class was missing.

As suggested above, simply changing the import "import android.R;" to one relative to your app e.g. "import your.package.name.R;" should do the trick here.
