XML parsing error: unbound prefix for mapbox

Question

I am trying to use mapbox in my android app. I am using android studio 0.8.0. I included this line in the build.gradle file

compile ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk: 0.4.0@aar '){ transitive=true } compile ('com.cocoahero.android:geojson: 1.0.0@aar '){ transitive=true } 

But when I use it in my XML file, it has a namespace error. The mapbox namespace calls this. any idea what might cause this?

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/parent_layout"> <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:textSize="15sp" android:text="this is the general tab"/> <com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.views.MapView -->not causing error android:id="@+id/mapview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" mapbox:mapid="Your MapBox mapid" /> -->causing error </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>

OK, finally it is resolved. I am changing my xml file:

 <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/parent_layout"> <com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.views.MapView android:id="@+id/mapid" android:focusable="false" android:focusableInTouchMode="false" android:paddingTop="10dp" app:mapid="your map id" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="320dp" > </com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.views.MapView> </ScrollView>

You can also fix this error by adding this line to your xml:

 xmlns:mapbox="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" 

XML example:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:mapbox="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.views.MapView android:id="@+id/mapview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" mapbox:mapid="your id" /> </LinearLayout>
