Problems

and at end of R.java

please help me to fix this issue

Answer 1

I fixed the problem by going to the path

E:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res\values\attrs.xml and Find "android:preserveIconSpacing"

Then change it, From

attr name="preserveIconSpacing" format="boolean"

To

attr name="android:preserveIconSpacing"

also, remove

format="boolean"

Answer 2

I think switched the API Level is not a genuine solution. We can resolve this by follows these steps:

1. Go to "C:\Users\AjaySharma\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Android.Support.v7.AppCompat\20.0.0\content\support\v7\appcompat\res\values\attrs.xml"

   (Pleae make sure , change USer name and Target version in path)

2. Find "android:preserveIconSpacing" in file and remove or comment this entire line.

3. Now, You can Build Seccessfully. For more details. Read this

Answer 3

if all the above answers don't work for you are probably missing

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

in you app build.gradle

Answer 4

In my case for the same error, when all else failed, I removed this line from Gradle config file, myproject/app/build.gradle

config:compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

and, voila! It worked.

Answer 5

I had the same problem in Eclipse, and fixed it by changing the API level by...

• Right Clicking on the project
• Open PROPERTIES > ANDROID
• Changed the API level down to the one I had been using up to now.

I think I was having the problem because I had just switched from API 21 to 22. I had read earlier that API 22 was trouble-some, so people were not using it.

Hope that helps.

Answer 6

I had this problem after upgrading my version of Eclipse (and Google Plugin):

ERROR: In MenuView, unable to find attribute android:preserveIconSpacing

I have solved it by deleting the appcompat_v7 project from my workspace (and my disk).

And then creating a new Android project MyApp1 - which has recreated the appcompat_v7 project (here fullscreen):

After that I have deleted the MyApp1 project again.
