My code is giving me an error saying"can't find symbol R"

Here is my code: package com.example.roshan.mystoryapp.ui;

import android.content.Intent; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import com.example.roshan.mystoryapp.R;

public class StoryActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

public static final String TAG = StoryActivity.class.getSimpleName();


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_story_activity2);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String name = intent.getStringExtra("name");
    if(name ==null) {
        name = "Friend";
    }
    Log.d(TAG,name);
}

}

Hello,

Could you try going to Build, then Clean Project? If that doesn't fix it, we can try some other troubleshooting methods.

No , it did not work by rebuilding the project.

Hello,

The only two immediate things i can think of other than cleaning the project are to either try to invalidate the caches in Android Studio or possibly that its complaining that you're layout isn't named activity_story_activity2.
