Question

I am on the 36th tutorial of thenewboston android app development on youtube. He has had us copy and paste our code (cause we are supposed to know how to do it by now). I copied and pasted it, didnt work so i tried typing it all out. Still didnt work. My R.id isnt working. I have already had problems with this before so i knew to check my XML file. and in there everything is crazy. I get an error everywhere i have android:layout_width=”match_parent”. Did some research and i guess that got updated to “fill_parent” changed that, now I get an error in my XML saying “error: ERROR parising XML: not well-formed (invalid token)”. I have tried starting over mulitple times. cleaning project. Restarting. Triple checking my code. I dont know what im doing wrong. please help guys! Im going nuts!! Thanks in advanced.
