Android - Error:String types not allowed (at 'imageViewScramble' with value '')

Question

I\'m really having trouble with this one, I tried searching on the internet but didn\'t find anything similar.

When I try to build my app, it gives my this error

Answer 1

Ok, I fixed it by removing file at res/refs.xml which got name imageViewScramble in it. From what I've heard, this problems mostly occurs because of xml errors. Sometimes it may happen because of using old build tools. Sometimes clean/rebuild might just work.

Answer 2

for fixing this error goto res/value then delete the dimens.xml . it worked for me

Answer 3

I fix a similar issue: searching (CTRL + SHIFT + F) for the literal value that is mentioned in the message eg: 'imageViewScramble'.

In the result I went to the dimens.xml file where was located the match and I found an inconsistency in the value.

Eg: 5dp 5dp

So replacing the line with the mentioned by 5dp

Fix the issue.

Thanks for read.
