What is the class R in Android?

by

R is a class containing the definitions for all resources of a particular application package. It is in the namespace of the application package.

For example, if you say in your manifest your package name is com.foo.bar, an R class is generated with the symbols of all your resources in com.foo.bar.R.

There are generally two R classes you will deal with

  1. The framework resources in android.R and
  2. Your own, in your namespace

It is named R because that stands for Resources, and there is no point in making people type something longer, especially since it is common to end up with fairly long symbol names after it, that can cause a fair amount of line wrapper.
