I was able to work around it temporarily by moving my R.java file into my src directory. For example, if you're package name is com.example.sample, move your R.java file from app/build/generated/source/r/debug/com/example/sample/R.java to app/src/main/java/com/example/sample/R.java. Be sure to delete it when you're finished refactoring, it will be regenerated during the build process.
