Problem with weather app

I have been working on making stormy location awareness when I started having problems referencing R and the drawables I put it on Github here: https://github.com/Mistika/Cloudy/tree/master I am not finished with the location awareness so if you see any major problems or where the code is not finished I will probably get to it eventually. This also my first time with Github So any advice on that would help to.

FYI, you can share the entire project in Android Studio in one step by using VCS -> Import Into Version Control -> Share Project on GitHub from the menu. You just need to enter your account info into settings.

When you refer to a drawable you should only refer to the name of the drawable without specifying the resolution or file type. Android will figure those out for you. So '@drawable/drawable-hdpi/degree.png' should be just '@drawable/degree', etc. This goes for any @/R. resource that can have different variations like screen resolutions, languages, orientations, etc.

I changed every thing so it can reference those now but am still having trouble with the icon:
Error:(23, 23) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/drawable- hdpi/ic_launcher'). and it reverts back to that even if I change it.

That's in AndroidManifest, right? it shouldn't revert to anything if you edit it.

No, it is in the activity_main oddly enough.

There should be a line in the manifest specifying the launcher icon. That one needs to be fixed too.

Problems with R usually clear up with a Clean and Rebuild.
