how to fix broken project where R. no longer recognised?

Help, my project's completely broke!!!

I'm coding an Android app in Eclipse. I just made a change to the Strings file, replacing an existing named string ("button_text") to two strings ("button_text1", "button_text2"). The .xml editor would not recognise the change to the strings file (yes, I did save it ;)), only presenting "button_text". I tried "clean project" as that's helped fix images not updating, which did not work. I then tried Android tools > fix Project Properties. I can now change the button label to the new "button_text1" but the project won't build. Resources are not recognised. eg.

    setContentView(R.layout.layout_tables);

"R" is unrecognised

My entire project is broken. What do I need to do to fix it? I'm in the latest Eclipse as updated yesterday.

If you have just updated to Android SDK rev. 22, you may be experiencing the same problem asked here. If that's the case:

After updating to SDK Tools to rev. 22 for the first time, you may need to relaunch Android SDK Manager again and install a new item: Android SDK Build-tools. enter image description here After installing this, clean your projects and rebuild.
