Unexpected namespace prefix “xmlns” found for tag LinearLayout

Question

Answer 1

In an Android xml file, the Android namespace can:

• only be declared once
• only be declared in the top ('outer') Android View in the xml hierarchy

or you'll receive an error when building the project. In your case, the top Android view is the ScrollView, so keep

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

in the ScrollView, and remove it from all other nested Views, including the LinearLayout.
