How to import R into Android project?

Question

I've downloaded a couple of example Android projects to learn ORMLite. I constantly get this error saying R cannot be resolved to a variable. So I just do a CTRL+Shift+O to automatically import all dependencies. This then inserts import android.R; which unfortunately doesn't solve the problem.

Since the package name is com.test; I tried to do import com.test.R; but that doesn't work either.

Does anybody know how I can solve this?

do not import android.R, remove this and make a clean and build — Sunil Kumar, Sep 23 '13 at 08:24
@sunil - I did. I removed android.R, but on the lines where R is called it simply says "R cannot be resolved to a variable". Any other suggestions? — kramer65, Sep 23 '13 at 08:30

try the next steps (order doesn't matter) :

update ADT & SDK , Eclipse and Java
remove gen folder , and create it again .
do a clean-project.
right click the project and choose android-tools -> fix-project-properties .
right click the project and choose properties -> java-build-path -> order-and-export. make sure the order is :
- Android 4.3 (always the latest version)
- Android private libraries
- android dependencies
- your library project/s if needed
- yourAppProject/gen
- yourAppProject/src
make sure all files in the res folder's subfolders have names that are ok : only lowercase letters, digits and underscore ("_") .
always make sure the targetSdk (in the manifest) is pointed to the latest API (currently 18) , and also set it in the project.properties file
