@MrRapell It's fine for me too. Are you sure that you have youtube's volume, your system's volume, and your speaker's volume as high as it can go?

@Dartheppa
Actually, maybe you remember the video where we first set up our project.
He talks about the R.java file which is automatically generated in the folder gen [generated Java files] of our project. That file is missing now, hence my programm doesn't know the class "R" anymore. You must have done something which led to the project generating that class again.

Did you ensure not to have the extension at the end? One thing you can try is to build a drawable folder under "res" and see if the error goes away. If not, you can build an XML file and make it a bitmap type. Then you can source the picture directly and see if that works.

@WikiMagic had the same problem, make sure that when you're typing the image name in the xml file you leave out the file's extention (jpg, png, gif etc)

@flump999: how do you make sounds?

I used audacity and lame codec to make an mp3 trimming from my music collection.

Thanks for the tutorial and btw that dragging and copying does work... :-)

NOTE-
Instead of copying the files to source folder, you can directly copy the file by pressing ctrl+c and in eclipse click the place you to paste and press cttrl+v

Protip: make sure you move the Greater Than sign (>) from the end of the line: to the end of the background line.

"Go to Project and hit Clean. This should, among others, regenerate your R.java file.

Also get rid of any import android.R.* statements and then do the clean up I mentioned.

Apparently Jonas problem was related to incorrect target build settings. His target build was set to Android 2.1 (SDK v7) where his layout XML used Android 2.2 (SDK v8) elements (layout parameter match_parent), due to this there was no way for Eclipse to correctly generate the R.java file which caused all the problems."
