title: Android Studio cannot find my resources
body: <p>Android Studio cannot compile my test project, because it cannot resolve the resources.
  I tried some different settings for the res directory in the gradle.build, but nothing worked. Am I missing something simple here? It's a simple HelloWorld project with nothing individual in it.</p>
  
  <p>I have the following project structure as it was created by the Android Studio wizard (newest release 0.2.5):</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aOBCt.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>In my AndroidManifest.xml there is the usual app name reference: @string/app_name
  This string is defined in main/res/values/strings.xml (selected in the screenshot above).</p>
  
  <p><strong>The error I get from the IDE (Android Studio) is:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>android-apt-compiler: [MyApplicationProject] C:\...\MyApplication\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml:6: error: 
  Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'label' with value '@string/app_name').
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>The error I get from the command line when i run "gradle tasks" is:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>A problem occurred configuring root project 'MyApplicationProject'.
   &gt; Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
      &gt; Main Manifest missing from C:\...\MyApplicationProject\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
  </code></pre>
