Hello @RogerK have you tried to Clean and Rebuild project – Nilesh Panchal
Indent your code properly and show us the code where the error originates from. – Taseer
Yes I did.@nilesh-panchal. Even I clear all the caches from 'C:User/AndroidStudio' drive. – RogerK
@TaseerAhmad It is having 10 in number of .java file Coding. Then this question will become so long. Do you really need code , though compiler doesn't show error on any line of coding ? – RogerK
I was expecting the compiler to direct to the point of error origin but in your case it not working. Can you open your values.xml file and look for any errors? I had kind of same error and I was able to fix it by modifying my value.xml file. – Taseer

Now Android Studio will be giving you error for explicit values and if those values are coming from some library you are using then you can't make a change in the intermediate file so instead change here and while merging your code Android studio takes care of it.

<resources>
<item name="faqID" type="id">faq</item>

Changed it to:

<resources>
<item name="faqID" type="id"/>

Please refer this link https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources#Id

You can also try as follows

If problem still exists please try as follows

  • File | Invalidate Caches / Restart
  • Deleting .idea folder
  • Running gradlew clean
  • Re-import the project
