How to reference resource file in a service?

Question

I have a service and I run a thread inside it. When I try to reference the strings.xml I receive "can't resolve symbol R", I am able to reference the same resources from another class in the application.

Please let me know how can I reference resources "strings.xml" correctly

code

SystemClock.sleep(getApplicationContext().getResources().getString(R.string.int_short_max_wait_time));

Please, have a look to [this other post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18503341/cant-get-string-resource-from-r-string) related to the same issue — Ludovic Frérot, Mar 18 '16 at 08:15
@LudovicFrérot i solved it by qualifying the R class with the package name followed by the App name, as follows com.example.com.AppName — user2121, Mar 18 '16 at 08:17

i solved it by qualifying the R class with the package name followed by the App name, as follows, if your package is named: com.example.com and your App is named: AppTest, then qualify the R class as follows: com.example.com.AppTest.R.xx

code:

 SystemClock.sleep(getApplicationContext().getResources().getString(com.example.com.AppTest.R.string.int_s
hort_max_wait_time));
