Adding a drawable resource

:) I have my "drawable" folder inside "res" but when I try to add a new resource to it (rightClick -> new -> file -> browse for a jpg and png file) the autogenerated R doesn't see it (in Package Explorer R.java-> R -> drawable -> sees only the "icon"). I tried with Project -> Clean and with an xml bitmap declaration inside the drawable. What could it be?

Make sure you are importing the R class.

import com.example.prettyprojectname.R;

If you have space in name of your application than sometimes resources are not visible. Try to remove space. Good luck.

Try restarting Eclipse, and refresh your current project.

what kind of error do you get ? cannot be resolved or is not a field ? this is kind of rude but I often delete the entire "gen" folder of my projects, to force regenerating the R.java

Are there perhaps errors in any other file in the resource folder? This could prevent R from being generated thus not showing your new drawables. (If there is an error, this will also show up in your console.)

This happened to me a few times as well.

Try choosing Project -> Clean from menu and wait a while.

If this doesn't help, clean and eclipse restart might help.
