- Error string types not allowed at android:configChanges in manifest file 2 answers
error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value
'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize').
Here is all my relevant code.
In the manifest:
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="13"
android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout
|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
SOLVED!!! The problem was the break in the tags on configChanges. They needed to be all on one line together. Do not split the line for readability, leave it together.
