Q:

What does "Error parsing XML: not well-formed" mean?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation=”vertical”
    android:layout_width=”fill_parent”
    android:layout_height=”fill_parent” >

I get these two errors
error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token) 
&
Open quote is expected for attribute "android:orientation" associated with an element type "LinearLayout".

A:

Did you copy and paste that from word? Your quotes look a little funky. Sometimes word will use a different character than the expected " for double quotes. Make sure those are all consistent. Otherwise, the syntax is invalid.
