Android app error: W/ResourceType( 8276): ResXMLTree_node header size 0 is too small

Question

This is a working android app that I pulled down from subversion and fired up in Eclipse ADT. I am getting this error:

W/ResourceType( 8276): ResXMLTree_node header size 0 is too small.

I am not sure what it means or where to begin to debug this. This error is appearing in my console window within Eclipse.

Any help would be appreciated.

For me, I was given this error from a character I had accidentally entered into my xml editor. Unfortunately Eclipse often does not highlight the file or line with a red x so it can take forever to track the error down.

If you use source control look through all the xml files you have changed and make sure that none of them have any xml formatting errors.

You can use a tool like this to validate each of the xml files that you are concerned about: http://xmlwrench.com/online/

NOTE: if you add an extra character at the end of a line these validator tools will not catch it.
