Can't Resolve Android Resource Strings

I am learning Android, and I have what I think is a weird problem. in /res/values/strings.xml I have: Status Update in /res/layout/

Solution 1:

Whenever you add something to a resource file and try to use it in another without saving it first, you will get an error.

The normal ctrl+s just saves the file you're in, so compilation will occur without the changes in the other file.

Pressing ctrl-shift-s saves changes in all open files (same as going to File -> Save All).

Personally, I hit ctrl-shift-o, ctrl-shift-f and ctrl-shift-s everytime I need to save some changes to organize the imports, format the code to fix indenting etc. and to save all changes.

Solution 2:

Looks like your R file is not generated correctly. Can you look at the build errors(if any) by eclipse. If not verify your R file is generated correctly and the entry titleStatus is in it

Solution 3:

I had the same problem in Android Studio. Select: File -->> Invalidate Caches/Restart. Solved it for me!
