The path kawa.android.hello.R rather than kawa.android.R suggests
it is looking for R in the wrong package.  I suggested trying a
fully-qualified package name: kawa.android.R.

I also suggest leaving out the dots - kawa.android.R:layout:main
rather than awa.android.R:.layout:.main - the dots are kind-of
deprecated.
