Android : Top level element is not completed in AndroidManifest.xml

Question

I have a problem when i'm trying to use Google Play Services in my app. I followed this tutorial https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start but i have an error after i put this line into my AndroidManifest.xml :

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

On the android:name line, error is : "Top level element is not completed, Valid XML document must have a root tag". But, my XML file is valid without the meta-data line.

My AndroidManifest.xml starts like that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.objectifmultimedia.chasseursbn">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Answer 1

3 easy steps:

1. Select element in xml that displays error.
2. Press alt + enter on the drawable item which calls error (for example: "@drawable/example").
3. And select "Uninject language/reference"

hope this might help
