XML Parsing Error

The code you've posted looks okay a couple of things that I would suggest although only a guess.

Is the layout a relative layout as the align parent left and align parent top only apply to a relative layout. Also as the width is set to match_parent. The align left line is redundant I would remove this.

It may be better if you could post the entire XML code please.

Thanks Daniel

Hi Daniel

Thanks for answering! Here's the full XML code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="guru.NickMiller.blogreader.MainListActivity" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
    </ListView>

    <TextView android:id="@android:id/empty"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:text="No items to display!" 
    </TextView>

</RelativeLayout>

I'm still struggling with getting this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Nick

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner I must of missed the notification from treehouse.

I've just pasted the code straight into a dummy layout and it works fine apart from a missing > (See below for amendment)

android:text="No items to display!">

This was there on your original code post though I so assume something else is a miss however. Can you just try this first please to remove the error from the missing ">" and double check this doesn't resolve the problem (after saving changes of course so it takes effect)

Thanks Daniel
