Error in my R.java file cannot be resolved - java

I am using the Eclipse ADT bundle and recently updated my Android SDK tools and Android SDK platform tools then thereafter I tried creating a new project and I keep getting an error in my R.java file that seems trivial but I still dont understand how it keeps showing up since it is an autogenerated file.The error is: Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody. Keep in mind this is when I have just created the project. Also deleting the file and letting it autogenerate still yields the same result that is the error.Please help on how I can solve this,can't seem to find any links to a newer ADT bundle.This error shows up in the console: ERROR: In MenuView, unable to find attribute android:preserveIconSpacing

Navigate to \Android.Support.v7.AppCompat\2x.x.x\content\support\v7\appcompat\res\values\attrs.xml in side your project directory.
or
open the AppCompat project in your workspace and navigate to \res\values\attrs.xml
Find "android:preserveIconSpacing" in attrs.xml file and and comment that line.
Rebuild the project again.
Hope this solves the issue.

i did comment "android:preserveIconSpacing" but generate more error.
i have back up appcompat_v7 and replace it with broken one and every thing goes right again .

This problem occurs when you update the ADT. So it is recommendable to use Android Studio.
If that doesnt work then try what #Harsh Dattani stated in the previous answer which is to Clean or Rebuild the project.

i think it's SDK Manager-Tools not installed.

Flutter "You need Java 11 or higher to build your app with this version of Gradle." error

When i create a new project, and press run i get this error.
The fact is i do already have jdk verison of 15 and my previously created projects do open and run without any errors. Also, if i add org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-15.0.1 line to my gradle.properties file the app runs without error but this way just does not seems right way to do it.
I have tried to change the SDK version from the project structure like some other questions and answers but it did not worked either. As an additon to other problems i do not have the same project structure screen as they showed so.
I do not know what to do right now, i would be very grateful if you could help me.
You should delete .gradle folder under user name. Then again run your project.
change gradle to 4.1.0
and it will be run

R.java file never generated

I'm brand new to Eclipse for Android Developers (Eclipse Neon in Ubuntu), and upon creating my first project, I was flooded with errors. It appears that the source of the errors was that the R.java file was never generated.
I've attempted to clean the project and restore from local history (nothing was ever deleted so this accomplished nothing). I've been unable to find a solution to my R.java file never existing in the first place, and help would be very much appreciated.
The Main Reason behind R.java File not generated is :-
First of all i think that is the Problem of your XML file.if you Leave any Mistakes/Errors on your XML file.
Then Eclipse/Android Studio will never generate an R.java.
That is the Solution of your Problem.
Hope this help to generate your File..(:

Deleted the .project file in the eclipse workspace

I had a problem with eclipse (mars) on my android project so I looked it up and found this question, I followed the first answer and they made me delete the .project file (which is located in workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.safetable) when I tried to paste it later it was gone. Now I'm getting a lot of errors in eclipse when I try to do stuff like run the project. Is there any way to recover it? Or is there a duplicate I can download from somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
If i were you i would upgrade to android studio.
You can try to import your broken project and maybe android studio will fix it for you. Since android studio works with Gradle builds it might fix just that.

Why am I getting 'R cannot be resolved to a variable' on a previously working project(JAVA 8)?

I know that it has been asked thousands of times, but I really can't fix this at this momment. I'm trying to update an old project(already submitet to the play store). The only dependency was the v7 appcompact lybrary and so I added it to the new workspace and updated the existing project dep[endencie, but I'm still getting the strange R cannot be resolved to a variable error.
Here is what I'm doing and even if I'm 99% sure that it is what I have to do, it's not working.
Updating the project dependencie:
everything looks nice, but when I clean and rebuild the project, here is what happens:
and the problem is still there. I'm really going to start crying, because it was a working project, buta after switching to a new workspace and checking it out from my git repository, I can't get it working.
Do you have an idea what is going on? I know that I miss something small here, I know that it has been asked so many times, but I can't find an answer fitting on my case.
Remove library project android-support-v7-appcompact and add it again properly.
also check your package name in manifest file.
update SDK Build Tools on SDK Tools -> SDK Platform Tools, if not, please try it and clean & rebuild.
check imports to see any broken R.java imports. if there is "import android.R;" remove it.
check style and layout xmls to prevent any missing drawables or depreciates.

Just to tell my experience with this problem in a Java project with JDK8. In my case I was running the project in a Mac with Yosemite. Reading the specs. Android Studio and SDK, I've found that projects could be compiled up to Yosemite version.
I changed my environment variables to JDK7 and it worked!

Error: Unable to open class file R.java [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Developing for Android in Eclipse: R.java not regenerating
(64 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Did a fresh install of Eclipse, JDK and android-sdk.
I am currently receiving this error when creating a new project
[2010-09-26 16:07:56 - Test] ERROR: Unable to open class file C:\workspace\Test\gen\com\example\test\R.java: No such file or directory
What's the reason for this and how do I fix it?
Eclipse Helios 32 bit
java version "1.6.0_21"
Android sdk API 8
P.S. I'm new to Android development.
EDIT: I tried most of your solutions, but nothing worked. So I started using my friend's install of Eclipse Ganymede.
I have had same issue, all what I needed to do, was create project and restart eclipse.
//Edit: Complete collapsing of "Package" tree works as well.
This is a mighty annoying error.
It happens 100% of the time when I create a new android project.
What seems to work for me is to just delete the file (which DOES exist and is accessible by my user), then hit build, and it will regenerate it and stop moaning.
It's clearly a bug as there are too many people getting it simply by filling in the boxes in the new project dialog (like me) without even modifying any code!
Have a look at your console. It is an aapt aborted error. Since aapt is the tool that auto-generates R.java, therefore, R.java was not getting generated.
Since R.java is a auto-generated file that stores information about your drawables you should rebuild your project. Before that have a look at your layout xml files and check them for errors.
Notice that Project -> Build All should be selected. Also try to run your project.
Removing Read Only attribute on Eclipse workspace directory and Project->Clean->Build Project
did the trick for me. I then clicked on the project directory from within Eclipse and did a F5 (Refresh) . R.java was generated in the gen folder.
I had a similar error on the creation of new projects myself. After messing around I tried moving the R.Java file into the same location as my projects java file (the src file). Eclipse then saw I removed the R.Java file from its location and created another and that seemed to clean up the error.....I dont know if it was because eclipse rebuilt the file and then saw it or what but that seemed to work for now.
After creating the Project, Right click the Project Folder within the Project Explorer on the Left Tab of Eclipse.
Click on Source->Format.
The Console will say:
[2010-11-24 11:57:42 - YourProject] R.java was modified manually! Reverting to generated version!
Then you're good to go. Try running your Project and it will compile.
Check your imports. If this has sneaked in, then delete it.
import android.R;
Had a almost identical issue with Eclipse Helios 64 bit on Linux, but I had the "1.6.0" API selected like you. The bizarre thing was I could type;
cat <the path it was moaning about>
in a console it would display correctly.
I created a new AVD which used Android 2.1, the issue magically vanished. Perhaps it's a bug in Android SDK or Eclipse?
Right click on your project name in package explorer. Then click 'Validate'. It will be fine.
Here is how to fix it:
Go to your "workspace" folder and make sure it's not "read-only"
Eclipse Menu > Projects > clean
Had the same issue.I was able to solve it by doing the following:
go to Window/Preferences/Java/Build Path
select 'Folders' and change the output folder to 'gen' (this is where Android looks for the generated java files,but the default in eclipse is 'bin').
restart Eclipse
Windows 7,Eclipse 3.5.2
Configure buildpath.. check android , it worked, of course i followed one of the posts mentioned above window, preferences, java, java build path and selected project,
then created a project, and tried to build same error, then i checked build path and saw android is unchecked, checked it and build again, it works!
I had this exact same problem with no helpful errors. finally, I tried deleting my debug keystore and it worked:
rm ~/.android/debug.keystore
I had seen people mention that, but I figured it wasn't my problem because I wasn't getting any errors relating to the debug keystore. I found the answer here:
"Debug certificate expired" error in Eclipse Android plugins
apparently the debug keystore is only valid for one year.
I would say that once you have created your project and you've mention the R.class error --> just restart the Eclipse IDE and everything will be fine ;)
1.-Open Eclipse
2.-Open Window/Preference
3.-Expand JAVA option
4.-Select Build Path
5.-Check the option "Projec"t and uncheck "folder" options
6.-Click on OK
7.-Restart eclipse IDE
Let's go to code !!
This problem can be solved by merely cleaning and rebuilding the project. How ever there is a link to the latest version of Eclipse for Android.

In mac,
I select Project>Clean
after that, i unchecked Build Automatically
then i run the project and it works :)
Windows 7 64bit, run eclipse as administrator, solved the problem for me.
In my case there was no gen folder after pressing clear...
To solve it, i created a new gen file, then when to Build Path => Configure Path, and pressed ok.
All went smooth after that :-)
Following steps are done as solutions:
1. Collapse the project tree structure
2. Go to the workspace and remove the readonly permission of the workspace.
3. right click "default.properties" and go to properties and uncheck the readonly permission in eclipse.( this is done when the workspace shows build error even though there are no compilation issues)
