Try to check you resource folder(res/), it is containing error, Fix all error in res/ folder. then clean up your workspace. and build the project again, it will works.

R.java is automatically regenerated for you as soon as your res/ is corrected.

My answer is assuming that you are using Eclipse. Cleaning a project deletes its bin and gen folders and rebuild them again. Don't clean while having errors in the project as it won't build R.java on cleaning. It will show a lot of R errors in project as R.java is no longer present. But it will be showing the actual error in the console window. Fix it and R will build automatically.

Is there way to ignore them? – user3698989 Jun 16 '14 at 05:20
@user3698989 I don't know what errors you are getting. But if they came from the lint check, try removing it and build. – berserk Jun 16 '14 at 05:21

First you check Your *.XML files if there is any error If error then first solve it.

Remove all import android.R from your activity
Run Project->Clean it remove all auto generated files
Build project using Project - Build Project it rebuild your project OR Checked Auto Build ON
Wait for a while it regenerate all files including R.java
If steel R.java is not generate then it is problems related to Project Build Target
Right click Project Go Properties->Android see in right section Project Build Target and see it match with your AndroidManifest.XML
Make change accordingly and repeat above steps

This one help you..
