R.layout.... compilation errors

You are working in your android project. Everything was fine. Suddenly you start getting lot of errors. The errors are in all the lines which use R like R.layout, R.drawable etc.

Just check your import statements. Most probably there is an import which says

import android.R;

Hence all the resources are tried in android.R., Not in your R.java file. 

Remove the import statements. And all these compilations errors vanish

Both of them share the same cursor from the activity. Let us start with list fragment. Do not try creating list fragment using a wizard. It unnecearrily adds too many methods and classes. Let us start writing our own fragment like this class MyListFragment extends ListFragment { } Next using code menu override option, override the following method onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) This method should be used for inflating the layout file for the fragment.  I have a framelayout in parent activity of this fragment with the id as container. So I will specify that for inflating. The framelayout will be the paren...

Ratings and feedbacks

Once your android project is at the finishing stage, you need to add the following extra features to your app. Rate the app Because rates drive app download Other apps by you free advertisement for your apps Send feedback you need them to remove bugs and improve the app Well, I personally feel that the pop up screens which ask the user to rate the app, is not a good idea. People may get irritated by this. But to provide the first one, you need to know the playstore page of your app. How do you get the page if you have not yet published the page? Well, the app page always looks like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id =your_app_package_name    the last part is your package name of the app. And to take the user to all apps by you, you need to use a url like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=yourdevelopername  So these two settled, let us write our xml and code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8...
