I am having a problem with the gen/r.java file. When I create or edit files in resources such as layout /values/strings.xml e.t.c the r.java file does not update. I have followed a tutorial and it for some reason won't update. There are no errors in the xml file.

I have heard people say "use clean/build" e.t.c but this just removes the r.java file and I am unable to get it back after many attempts. This results in me having to redo the whole project again just to get the gen file back. Why is this happening?

Project -> Clean works for me. R.java is deleted & Auto generated.
