    text
    copied!<p>Hi I am completely new to Android programming and the question I am asking might be something very simple, but I do not have any idea about how to make it work, so kindly bear with me.</p> <p>I installed android-sdk and related tools from the <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html">Android developer site</a>. I followed their instructions to create a HelloWorld app, but I am getting some errors which I don't understand.</p> <p>The file MainActivity.java is an auto generated file and I keep getting errors in this file in these places:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // error in activity_main } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); // error in activity_main return true; } </code></pre> <p>So I went and tried to look through the generated class file for layout.class and found there is no variable called activity_main there.</p> <p>Can anyone kindly suggest what to do here? Any help will be deeply appreciated.</p> <p>The directory structure shows me that I do have the AndroidManifest.xml.</p> <p>When I try to run the app, I get this specific error:</p> <pre><code> AndroidManifest.xml file missing! Unknown Android Packaging Problem </code></pre> <p>These are some of the errors that i am getting when trying to get it running :</p> <pre><code> 10-10 23:31:11.305: E/Trace(946): error opening trace file: No such file or directory (2) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x2 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.content.res.Resources.getValue(Resources.java:1013) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.content.res.Resources.loadXmlResourceParser(Resources.java:2098) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.content.res.Resources.getLayout(Resources.java:852) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.view.MenuInflater.inflate(MenuInflater.java:107) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at com.example.myfirstapp.MainActivity.onCreateOptionsMenu(MainActivity.java:18) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.app.Activity.onCreatePanelMenu(Activity.java:2476) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.preparePanel(PhoneWindow.java:393) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.invalidatePanelMenu(PhoneWindow.java:747) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$1.run(PhoneWindow.java:2913) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:615) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4745) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:786) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:553) 10-10 23:31:11.955: E/AndroidRuntime(946): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) </code></pre>
