Errors in R.java (android studio) after compilation

Question

I am new to Android Studio and with the new version, I am facing some serious issues. Every time I try to compile any android package , I get the following errors:

These errors are indicated in R.java - which is not supposed to be edited externally.

Please let me know a possible solution. Earlier, I was facing an encoding incompatibility error , which I fixed and then dropped to this problem.

Answer 1

In my case, I deleted the lines and files which caused error (at XML files and drawabale). Then, I clicked on Build-Clean. It works.
