Cannot resolve symbol 'R' - too many strings?












1















I am working on a project which has a lot of strings. Some of my strings files are quite large having a thousand lines in some of them. This was fine until today when I tried to add more and everything stopped working.



When I tried to add more to one of my strings files suddenly all of my java files say 'Cannot resolve symbol R'. I remove the new strings and clean the project, and everything is back working again.



Is there a limit to the number of



<string name="string_name">words</string>


objects that I am allowed to have? Have I reached the limit? Please help.

  • Is your app running? Put those new strings and run it to check

  • The app is running fine before adding new strings. After adding the new strings, I get the 'Cannot resolve symbol R' error, and therefore the app will not compile and run anymore.

  • Have you tried assembleDebug ?
