Element type "activity" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"

Question

I've read up on forum posts about similar errors, but nothing I read works. It looks like my formatting is fine, but I keep getting the indicated error. I've tried refreshing the project and cleaning the project as well as restarting Eclipse entirely.

<manifest
    ... >
    <application
        ... >
        <activity
            android:name="com.myNamespace.myPackage.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Solution 1

In your manifest you must have forget to close one of the attribute. Check out your manifest file closely and make sure you have closed all the tags.

Solution 2

I also faced the same isssue but I found that it was coming because of copying and pasting the code in xml file.

Please try to type the code manually and see. Hope the error will not come.
