R.java file getting deleted automatically every time

Question

i am creating a simple splash screen , but i am unable to understand that why R.java file is getting deleted automatically every time i create a new project. only error i am getting is for R.java file, which is "R cannot be resolved to a variable". i have already tried importing R into my project using Import.android.R, but error is still there. please anybody with solution. thanks

the part of the code in which error is as follows:

package com.example.whereareyou3;

//import android.R;
import android.R;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    Handler h1 = new Handler();
    private ProgressBar mProgress;
    long ms,splashTime=7000;
    boolean splashActive = true;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Normally it happens when your res folder contains some files with non-acceptable names (e.g file names in drawable folders cannot have '-' character or space between words) or when some error occurs in xml parsing. And its not android.R that you should import, you have to import com.example.whereareyou3.R

Providing that your activity has the same package as where your layouts are stored it should work. Importing R will not fix it.

You can most likely resolve this by cleaning the project. Go to Project > Clean.

Also I have not seen this error since upgrading to the latest version of Eclipse and ADT.
