I am new to the forum and just started learning about Android app development. I was going through the tutorials at developer.android.com and already ran into an compiling error. I see these three errors on my activity_main.xml:
error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'layout_height' with value 'wrap content'). activity_main.xml
error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'layout_width' with value 'wrap content'). activity_main.xml
error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'layout_height' with value 'wrap content'). activity_main.xml
and here is my activity_main.xml code as of now:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<EditText android:id="@+id/edit_message"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="@string/edit_message" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap content"
android:layout_height="wrap content"
android:text="@string/button_send" />
</LinearLayout>
Is it throwing an error because wrap_content is an incorrect syntax or does it need to be declared elsewhere? Any help will be appreciated on how to troubleshoot or fix this.
Thanks!
