New view in xml(layout) file cant be created(java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No static field tv of type I)

Question

I have a project which uses two modules(libraries), I created some activity and its respective layout file in one of my library, I can't seem to add new views in that layout (Textview, Imageview etc). Here is the logcat output.

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No static field tv of type I in class Lcom/camera/sushant/opencamera/R$id; or its superclasses (declaration of 'com.camera.sushant.opencamera.R$id' appears in /data/app/com.streetspotr.streetspotr.staging-1/base.apk)

Answer 1

Apparently what was happening, I had layout with same name in my app module and my library module. So when packaging the application it was always taking the layout from my app module not library module. So I had to delete the layout in my app module and everything worked fine.
