Answer 1

Here is the solution what I came across

Solution 1: - Open layout file Ctrl+Shift+F (Command+Shift+F in MacOSX) Save the layout file and close it. Delete any .out files the builder might have created. Clean project.

Solution 2: - Also you can select the complete code, cut it and then paste it again. This will not disturb your xml formatting as well.

Solution 3: For few of the coders it works just after cleaning the project

Hope this will help. Please do let me know if I can be of any help

Answer 2

Maybe you need to put /> at the end,

Try this:

android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>   

Answer 3

The best way to do it is to use lint through Android layout editor, and use the "fix" button.

Answer 4

Try cleaning the project:

Project -> Clean... -> Clean All

It worked for me. Hope it helps.

Answer 5

My solution to the Android SDK/ADT 21 xml layout error.

Incorrect line ending: found carriage return (\r) without corresponding newline (\n)

Example:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

/>from here...

Marking the space between the tags after where you get the error and hit enter and then ctrl s (save) removes it.

...to here<

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text2"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

update: if it's only one line between the tags, set the marker there and press ctrl+d (delete) and the ctrl+s (save)
