Android Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f030027

Question

I was working on my android program and when I tried testing it I suddenly started getting an error that went "android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f030027" The last major change I made was adding in the action bar via the support library but I got that working fine already. Besides that I've added one new class but even if I delete the class and it's associated files the error still pops up. I have tried cleaning the project and restarting Eclipse multiple times to no avail.

Here's the stack trace in case anything got lost in translation:

Also I have checked the R.java file and the resource definitely exists, though as I mentioned cleaning the project, deleting the R file and restarting Eclipse does nothing. One thing I felt should be mentioned however is that I've found two R.java files, one is in my project folder along with BuildConfig.Java. The other one is in android.support.v7.appcompat. I know appcompat can cause some problems so I thought it was worth mentioning in just in case.

I can't even get my code working how it used to, so any help would be appreciated and let me know if you need any other information!

Answer 1

You can check your R file for Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f030027. It'll tell you which resource was creating the problem. As an alternative solution I think you might have setText or any content just an int.And as you know here compiler will look for corresponding resource value. So, just concat an empty string there as ""

Answer 2

I was getting this exception:

android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f02004f

I was calling PNG Icon from ...\app\src\main\res\drawable-21

When I put my PNG Icon into ...\app\src\main\res\drawable and I call it,
My problem goes away

BTW XML worked from \drawable-21

Answer 3

I had this same issue too:

As I was trying to move some files into another directory within the IDE, somehow I made a mistake by moving a layout xml file from the layout directory into the layout-land directory.

It worked after I moved it back.

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 4

I tried to move image files (png,jpg) from drawable-v24 to drawable

It solved the Problem
