Question

I have made a XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item
    android:state_pressed="true"
   android:drawable="@drawable/calender_h" />
  <item
   android:state_pressed="false"
  android:drawable="@drawable/calender_n" />  
</selector>

but it is giving me the following error:

Failed to parse file G:\eclipseHeliosWorkspace\WineCountry\res\drawable\calendar_selector.xml

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

I’m not sure it’s the same, but
Similar issue happened to me when updating to ADT 15, in a library project.
this is the google issue that currently still opened: 21046.

That’s what worked for me:

1. Remove the library declaration of the project.
2. Open the layout causing the error (the one which using the selector) in graphical layout.
3. Clean the project (Project -> Clean)
4. Close and reopen eclipse. (the layout should be ok now)
5. You can set the project as library again.

Hope this helps!
(if it’s still relevant…)
