This may not be the case for you, but sometimes when I use something from the android.R package (default android resources) and I use it in my class before making reference to anything from my own resource package, Eclipse adds the import android.R; statement in my imports.

Check your import statements for import Android.R;. If it's there, remove it. And, if you're using anything from android.R, fully qualify it when you use it in code.
