ActionBarSherlock R.未生成

Question

Today I had a Problem in another Project and the solution was to hit Project -> Clean , but since then the R. in the ActionBarSherlock-library won't generate. I couldn't solve this problem so I restarted eclipse and downloaded and imported the library again. But the error is still there. The Problem is that there is no red flag in my res folder. If I open the Error-Log I can see a bunch of warnings and errors, but this one is being repeated very much:

abs__action_menu_layout.xml: Failed to convert ?attr/actionBarDivider into a drawable
abs__action_menu_item_layout.xml: Couldn't find theme resource attr/actionButtonStyle for the current theme

I have the newest version of actionbarsherlock, so I doubt the resource is actually missing. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I have often had this problem where the R.java file will not generate. It occurs when there is a problem with one/many of your resources (Images/Sounds/Layouts etc).

It appears that you have errors in both the XML files mentioned. It looks like actionBarDivider and actionButtonStyle are not missing/not generated. I would look at the definitions for both of those and see if there are any issues.

Answer 2

Try to remove the libs folder and then click on the library project Android Tools->Add Support Library. After that make Project->Clean...

If this doesn't help, try to download the fresh version of abs from officail web-site and re-add it to your project.
