Hi,
I am following the Hello World Code project.

I am getting following error message:

The element type "manifest" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</manifest>".

I have got following code

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.helloworldcodeproj">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" />
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Also:

I have following inconsistent with the tutorial:

public class MainActivity extends Activity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@androidx.annotation.Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

Some body please guide me how to remove this error.

If by "the code project's tutorial" you mean an article here on CodeProject, then you need to use the forum at the bottom of that article to ask questions about it.

Solution 1

This is a conflict with the tag "application" which is "closed twice".

You have

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" />  <<<<<closed tag application

and afterwards again

</application>

So you need to take a decision. Either it should be
1.)

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.helloworldcodeproj">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

2.) or

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.helloworldcodeproj">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" />
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</manifest>
