In general, the procedure you give is a useful one. Unfortunately, for this particular problem (Eclipse complaining that R.main.java does not resolve), that procedure will bring in the wrong 'R'.
Instead, what the user needs to do is get the IDE to launch the emulator. That will rebuild the object 'R.main.java' from 'main.xml', forcing the IDE to recognize R.main.java. I have been told that this is an Eclipse bug. Now the hard part is getting the IDE to launch the emulator. I haven't figured this one out entirely myself yet. My temporary workaround is to close the project, delete the project, and start all over again after closing and relaunching Eclipse. Clearly this workaround is not acceptable for a project of substantial size. But it is tolerable for going through the Android tutorials. I'm still waiting for someone to cover a more usable workaround in this forum, which really is the ideal place for it. Finally, this question (or some one of the many minor variants of it) has been asked often enough, the answer really belongs in the FAQ. After all, by now, it is clear: it really is a "frequently asked question".
