I have incomplete project source files. I filled a newly created project with these. But now I can't access the R.string resource. By the way; I would like to point out that I have also tried all the solutions listed on the

error: cannot find symbol

Toast.makeText(this, R.string.permission_audio, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I think you maybe lack the basic understanding of what R actually is. It basically is the way to refer to anything in your res folder. If you don't have a string called permission_audio you also can't use it. All these R.string values are values you need to define yourself, inside the project, in the res folder.

Strings are typically defined inside res\values\strings.xml

Inside you will find something like

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">App name</string>
</resources>

Here all other strings also need to be defined, so if you change it to

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">App name</string>
    <string name="permission_audio">Text for showing permission audio</string>
</resources>

you will notice that R.string.permission_audio won't give an error anymore

Just Import below Resource file in your Activity

import com.yourPackageName.R;

if your activity in some Folder so add folder name in Import statement.

import com.yourPackageName.FolderName.R;
