Question

build.gradle:

Android build.gradle shows following error

ERROR: Parse         


        

Answer 1

I got the same error, and the wrong character was found in the [row, col] position of the AndroidManifest.xml, not build.gradle

Answer 2

I got the same error similar one like

Message: expected start or end tag
Affected Modules: app
[row, cal] 17,17

I forget an unnecessary /> characters in Manifest. Try to clean it any one has it.

Answer 3

also had the same error. just look at the location [row] at the Manifest file and fix the problem (I had extra ">")

Answer 4

I got this same error, and finally I found that there is error in Mainfest.xml file

 <service
        android:name=".onboarding.httpserver.HttpService"
        android:exported="false"
        >
    </service>>

you see, there are two >> after /service. which is wrong. After I fix this error, this message is disappear

Answer 5

I got a Commented line in manifest file, when i removed the commented line and build the gradle file then the error is solved.

Answer 6

check any unwanted characters that are added in the manifest file by mistake. After removing those characters/lines the problem was solved in my working application. check once and happy coding
