I get following error when i try to access a image placed in drawable folder ( a png file) from either .java file or from .Xml file. Error: cannot find symbol variable "image name" Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.
Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
I added below piece of code to build.gradle..
tasks.withType(JavaCompile)
{
options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:deprecation"
}
Now after compilation i get only error Error: cannot find symbol variable "image name".
not sure what is the exact issue.
R.drawable.imagename or @drawable/imagename is the way i am trying to access the images
