It's hard to know exactly what went wrong for you, but you should definitely not delete the "styles.xml" file. Try going up to the "BUILD" option at the top of the screen, and select "Rebuild" and "Clean", and see if that helps. It could just be the IDE making a mistake. Otherwise, are you sure that you are writing R in the right context?

thanks, for the response Jacob, not sure what even happened i was getting that error for hours. so i closed the program and restarted the computer and then i still had the error but i attempted to run it anyways and it cleared away. also i did have a minor syntax error before this process. i didn't have "nameEditText" spelled correctly. it is running and i am finished the next lesson
