The first is R cannot be resolved to a variable The second is Error: String types not allowed (at 'layout_height' with value 'match_parent') The third is Error: String types not allowed (at 'layout_width' with value 'match_parent') Any help in fixing these would be greatly appreciated.

For me (I'm on Windows 7 by the way), I went into the Android SDK manager (If your in Eclipse you go to Windows/Android SDK Manager)and installed the "Android SDK Platform-tools." I'm brand new at this (just started yesterday) so I don't know why this fixed my problem, but it did. Hope this helps. -Ammon Comments I know this is an old thread, but I spent several hours trying to figure this one out, so hopefully someone will benefit from this answer.
