I'm trying the new Android Studio. I've exported a project from eclipse, using the build gradle option. I've then imported it in Android Studio. The R.java file under gen has a j in a little red circle on it. And in my source files, I get "cannot resolve symbol R" wherever I have a reference to a resource, e.g. "R.layout.account_list" etc.

I have never used Intellij before. Would appreciate any help as there obviously aren't many answer yet about Android Studio. Thanks!

  1. Press F4 into Project Structure, Check SDKs on left
  2. Click Modules ---> Source Tab, check gen and src as sources
