I would regard the SDK samples exactly as that - samples - and not as something which demonstrates best practices in every regard. An obvious example of this is UI design; the SDK samples clearly don't have top-notch UIs, but then, that's not their point. IOW, take each sample as a demonstration of whatever specific code that sample is about, not as a shining example of the best possible code that could be written. And in this case, the folks on this group are pretty well agreed not to use android.R.*, so you probably shouldn't.
