Android Error parsing XML: unbound prefix [fixed]

21 May 2011 |

I was playing around with my Layout and then I kept getting this error

the fix for this is very simple all you have to do is to make sure that the first element in your layout XML contains this element

xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”

for instance like this

 

   1:  <ScrollView xmlns="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   2:           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   3:           android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   4:           android:padding="10dip">

Android SDK installation [Java SE development Kit (JDK) not found] fixed

13 May 2011 |

it’s a prerequisite of Android SDK Is JDK so if you are installing the JDK and you know that you have JDK installed, it’s most probably that there’s a missing registry key that was not set

 

error

to solve this problem you need to add a registry key to fix this

so to do that

create a normal text file with this keys

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit] 
"CurrentVersion"="1.6"
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.6] 
"JavaHome"="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25" "MicroVersion"="0"
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.6.0_23] 
"JavaHome"="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25" "MicroVersion"="0"

 

now rename the extension of the file to be “.reg” and then double click to install it, once done try to install it.

 

Update: please make sure that you have the correct path of JDK installed on your machine
