Hello,

I'm guessing you're breaking up your project into seperate packages. If so, you are going to need to import the R class(which is automatically generated when you build your project).

For example,

import com.example.R;

Also, I beleive Android Studio does this automatically for you if its necessary if you run the optimize imports command.
