Android manifest with XML empty tags?

Question

In the manifest of my app, activities are highlighted in yellow and indicated:

XML tag has empty body

Reports empty tag body. The validation works in XML/JSP/JSPX/HTML/XHTML file types

I'm looking for information, but do not quite understand the message refers.

I appreciate any help to know that I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

XML tag has empty body

The refers to your <activity> tags as you are closing them with a </activity> instead of <activity (rest of code here...) />

Using an explicit </activity> implies there is a body to your <activity> such as in this example:

<activity
        android:name=".SplashActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity>

Whereas you are wanting something along these lines:

<activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" />

With the /> at the end to get rid of these warnings
