Strange xml error: Incorrect line ending

Question

I haven't used Eclipse since 1 week ago. Today I started it and I noticed that it loaded slowly. When it was started it prompted this:

I thougth that maybe Eclipse has updated something of Android so I updated to the newest ADT. Now I have the same error but I have an extra big error that I don't know if it's because the previous error. I have tried the new feature of look how an xml layer looks in many devices. I have tried with 2 layers and now the program doesn't compiles because it says:

Incorrect line ending: found carriage return (\r) without corresponding newline (\n)

The error for one xml is in this line:

     android:layout_height="wrap_content">     

and the other one is in:

    android:orientation="horizontal"> 

wtf has happened? I didn't change anything nor saved it and 1 week ago all was fine.

Answer 1

I just got the same annoying problem. What I did was copying the entire code into notepad. Then from notepad, paste it back into the xml field. I know, it sounds stupid, but it worked and I have no idea why -__-"

Answer 2

Simple solution:

Press: Ctrl + Shift + F and then save. It's a matter of formatting. This will format it.
