Android Studio HELP I'm a noob.

I am getting an arrow at the end of my activity.xml saying Attribute value is not closed. What does this mean?

You're probably missing a closing tag. If you post the xml file we can advise further.

You're missing a quote. Replace "parent/> with "parent"/>

What you said worked. But it messed up another file?

You have a build problem. There's something wrong with one of your xml layout files. Check the log for errors and check all your layouts. Problems will be highlighted.

Anything highlighted in red is a problem.
Try doing a clean build.

It is a very reliable and comprehensive development environment. Believe me, I've used quite a few and Android Studio is exceptionally good. Occasionally build artefacts, such as compiled files get left hanging around, and you have to manually clear things away. It's no big deal and they are easily re-generated from scratch. Most of the time it's not necessary, and Android Studio knows when things need rebuilding.

Please post questions in the forum if you don't mind, as doing so will help others in future who have the same problem.

Btw I've moved this thread to the Android Development forum, which is the best place to ask questions like this.
