.setIcon(R.drawable.icon) is flagged as unresolved error. I have already converted the "switch'" to If-else.

Hi elunokid
The new version of the SDK changes the way some of the 'res' items are handled. So that R.ic_launcher is not a constant cannot be used in switch statements. There is a note about in the documentation. There is a quick-fix that will convert switch statements to ifs.
Sometimes icon does not work ( and sometime it does?) change the icon to ic_launcher.
It would help if you would tell us what code you are having the trouble in.
Hope this helps
Cliff

ON page 34 the following statements are being flagged as errors:
setContentView(R.layout.main)
setIcon(R.drawable.icon)
findViewbyid(R.id.btn..dialog)
I certainly would appreciate any help on this problem. I'm Bogged down.
Thank you
Elunokid

Hi Elunokid
Sounds like you have a problem in the folder 'gen'. This is where all the generated data is stored.
1 Click (+) on the 'gen' folder and then on the project name folder.
There should be a R.java folder, click (+) on that and the sub folders.
Are the items that you are having problems with there?

Under drawable there should be an 'ic_launcher' .
Under layout there should be 'main'
Under id there should be 'btn_dialog'

findViewbyid(R.id.btn..dialog) should be findViewbyid(R.id.btn_dialog)
also in main if.xml.
Change 'icon' to 'ic_launcher'

2 Are there any other errors shown?
If there are not any other errors and you are still having problems. Click on R.java and delete it. It should be regenerated and have the items described above.

If there are other errors, R. will not be generated until those have been resolved.

The 'id' in the switch is an int and not the same as R.id. the switch should work.
Hope this helps
Cliff

Hi Cliff
After following your directions on last forum that you sent me. Going into gen and verifying the stored data and deleting R.java . I am still getting the errors. "fields cannot be resolved". on the "R." fields.
Thank You for your patience.

Elunokid

Hi Elunokid
I'm not sure what you problem is. If the R. structure is there it should work. Please post the lines of code that have errors and the main.xml file and I will see if I can help you.

Hi Elunokid
OK new I have the code. What and where are the errors?

Hi Cliff
Sorry about the misunderstanding. Here it goes again. the errors were copy and pasted from Eclipse. They are that the bottom.

Thank you

Hi Elunokid
Fix the two errors shown below.
When you go to put the values for R, type 'R.id.' and press CTRL-space.
This will give a list to select from.
The other two look good to me. Are you sure that the file R.java in in the 'gen' folder? If they are, then delete what you have for main and btn_dialog
and put them back with the CTRL-space trick.
Cliff
