Answer 1

remove the following

import com.twable.R;
import com.twable.R.layout;
import com.twable.R.menu;

and include import com.example.adicionalesprueba.R

Check your package explorer (the left pane of eclipse), open the gen folder of your project, open the package of your project, You should see a R.java file. If you do not, you're R file is not being generated. Try to clean your project, Project --> Clean. If the file is still not there, then you're R file is not being built. This can happen for many reasons. A very common one is that one of your XML files is not properly structured

Answer 2

Check your imports. Remove import android.R if it's generated there.
