    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
    />
    <LinearLayout                                <------------------- Here = error
       
        android:id="@+id/mainsub_layout"

           />
       <Button

        <Button

           />    
    </RelativeLayout>
    </LinearLayout>      
    </LinearLayout>

Errors are
1. No resource found that matches the given name (at 'label' with value '@string/app_name
2. Syntax error on token "invalid Character" ;expected
3. The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
4. Warnings ( 1 item)

Sorry if it's a stupid question

Hi!
About the error on line 9, you:

<LinearLayout
something
>

something

</LinearLayout>

You don't actually close it (for example,

<LinearLayout things about LinearLayout />

), unless you don't want it to apply to anything.
That means that LinearLayout will always apply until to other things (texts, buttons, wathever) until you close (

</LinearLayout>

). You write

</LinearLayout>

and not

/>

, that the device understands what you are closing.

I hope I've been helpful,
DD

I can't get how to edit my post... and I forgot to tell you :

<LinearLayout
something concerning LinearLayout (background, for example)
>

something about, for example buttons, TextViews, etc.

</LinearLayout>

Sorry about another post,
DD
