Eclipse could not resolve string resource error

I just created a new android project and prepared the basic structure for it. Eclipse is telling me that it couldn't resolve any strings, even the standard "hello" or "app_name" strings :O Restarting the IDE didn't help. Any suggestions? A screenshot can be found here

Try quick saving the strings.xml file after modifying your string resource, or save the entire project File->Save All menu... it worked for me.

Looks like you have deleted the default values folder in your res directory. You need to keep that as well with the other language specific values folders. You need to create res->Values->strings.xml and add your string resources to it.

Go to the strings.xml file under values folder, remove the resource that's causing the problem (in this case "app_name") and write it again - new one.

I noticed that in your project, there is no values resource folder. The resource in the folder with the suffix of -de,-en will be applied when the language on the device is German, UK, but the default folder should not be deleted. Try to add the values folder and corresponding string.xml to the project.

First, try to clean your project

Project > Clean

If that doesn't work, make sure you don't have a typo or something in your three strings.xml files.
