R.string. is not popping out the key_name,.. and if i enter it displays red

Hello,

Without seeing the full code(which is typically very helpful in finding issues), I can only make a few guesses. First, you haven't completed the id, leaving it at R.string. instead of R.string.string_id. The other possibility that I can think of is that you're using subpackages and need to import your R class(do note that the R class is generated automatically). If R is underlined, please select it, hit Alt + Enter, then select import class. Please let us know if these solved your problem or if you need more assistance. If you do need more assistance, please provide your updated code so that we can see where any more issues could be coming from.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private EditText mNameField;
private Button mStartButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mNameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.namEditText);
    mStartButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);

    mStartButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            String name = mNameField.getText().toString();
            startStory(name);

        }
    });
}
    private void startStory(String name)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, StoryActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra(getString(R.string.key_name) name);
        startActivity(intent);
    }

}

this is the full code

import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText;

here is my import

package com.example.jude.interactivestory;

Not looking like there's much wrong so you can always try the old, "Clean and rebuild the project" approach. To do this, go to Build, then select Clean Project. Then select Build, then Make Project. That tends to clear up problems like that with no obvious cause. Sometimes people have to also try File, Invalidate Caches/Restart. Please let us know if this helps. If not, we can try a few other things.

no its still not working. i tried adding another string to the string.xml which i named "name_key" it popped out but why this "key_name is not popping out that i dont understand
