How can I solve this problem?
Solution 1:
If you give a resource ID, the body must be empty.
For more information, see the link below.
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources#Id
So, as Oliver Manyasa said, it should be like this.
Solution 2:
I had a similar problem after upgrading to Android Studio 3.2.1.
The error was about this element in the ids.xml file
Activation
As mentioned by user Sangeet Suresh, I changed it to
That solved the problem.
Solution 3:
For those who are still stretching their brains to find a solution to this problem, create an ids.xml in src/main/res/values with a content similar to the next one (but make sure you update it with the ids you see errors in) :
Now Android Studio generates an error for explicit values, and if those values come from a library you’re using, you can’t make any changes to the intermediate file, so edit here instead and when you merge your code, Android Studio will take care of it.
Solution 4:
In your resource file, delete both the closing tag and the body, i.e. delete tv_deviceName.
and make your source file look like this:
Solution No 5:
For me it actually failed because the new versions of Gradles. I’m pretty sure some of the plugins I use are not compatible with the latest diploma. I managed that with the next versions:
Get ready for graduation. Properties file :
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip
build.gradle file
Dependencies {
classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1’
}
EDIT:
Since we now want to use the 3.2.+ versions, this is not a reliable solution.
I finally created a new ids.xml file and overwrote all inconsistent values.
an example of the ids.xml file :
Solution No 6:
I put this automatically generated file in res/xml/values with empty tags such as
…
…
That’s just it!
Solution No 7:
I made the following mistake
Wrong: The internal element must either be a link to the source or empty.
In my case I created a new test project and removed the toolbar and fab from the activity_main.xml file, but they were also in the ids.xml file. After removing both identifiers from the ids.xml file, I could get started. Your IDs.xml file can have a lot of identifiers, but since I created a new project, it doesn’t have one anymore.
The screenshot above shows the exact location of the file.
Solution No 8:
In the values folder I double-clicked the ids.xml file that caused problems
rollButton
I tried some of the answers you chose:
But I have a mistake that says:
The element type Element must be closed with the corresponding End tag.
To fix this, I just added a fitting end label:
FIXED
I’m new to Cotlin, and what just struck me, and what I didn’t understand, is the need to end the slash before closing >. If you don’t turn it on, you will get the error message I received, but if you turn it on, the accepted answer works.
Good luck!
