Answer 1

I renamed the file in res/values "strings.xml" to "string.xml" (no 's' on the end), cleaned and rebuilt without error.

One general solution to such tiny errors is that you close eclipse and start is again.. 3 irritating problems were solved.. its the problem with eclipse.. some times it didn resolve "R.id", the it didn find @string/somebutton, and then again some random thing... if nothing logical comes in your mind, try this, n conjure d result.. :)

Answer 3

tried what KennyH write but it didn't solved my problem that appear while trying edit style.xml file in my android app, so I just delete the project from eclipse (not from disk of course !!) and import it back ,solved it for me in that case.

Answer 4

For me the issue appeared because my string file could not be parsed. I wanted to have a value like '%s - %s'. However this appeared to be triggering a problem, it seems string will try to parse this value in a special way. Because two string values were provided in a single value an error was written in the console, but I had so many errors triggered from that, that the initial error was hidden, because of small console buffer. Adding formatted="false" attribute to this string value of mine fixed the problem in the string file (which btw was not reported as compilation error in the file itself) and I was able to build once more.

I resolved this kind of issue like this: I went into my XML layout file, cut the line of code that was generating the error. Then I saved the file, and pasted the code back in. The error was gone.

Answer 6

Eclipse doesn't seem to like imported programs. What worked for me is renaming strings.xml to string.xml, save (without error) and then rename it back to strings.xml, save again and error doesn't show up again.

Eclipse would be sooo good if it wasn't for those tiny little errors all the time :(
