Treehouse TeacherI know this is an old post now, but it slipped through the cracks because it was listed as "General Discussion" instead of "Android". In case this helps you or anyone in the future:
This is an unfortunate error. I think the most common solution for me is this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/885009/r-cannot-be-resolved-android-error (answer)
This can happen for a number of reasons. Your best bet is to look at the types of errors and where they are occurring and then matching up with one of the many solutions on StackOverflow, like this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/885009/r-cannot-be-resolved-android-error (full question)
