'Unexpected namespace prefix "app"' in Android wear module - android

I added a new android wear module based on this Google doc
but I am getting the error described in the title. Here is my layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.wear.widget.BoxInsetLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/dark_grey"
android:padding="#dimen/box_inset_layout_padding"
tools:context=".MainWearActivity"
tools:deviceIds="wear">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="#dimen/inner_frame_layout_padding"
app:boxedEdges="all"> <---this is the offending line
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.wear.widget.BoxInsetLayout>
Anyone know what's going on? I appreciate explanation as to why I am getting this error.
UPDATE: I removed the redundant android prefix. Android studio requires me to change the app prefix to change to android but even after doing so the error remains. Is it safe time to assume it is a bug?

Based on what Mike M suggested, I right clicked on the error and I selected suppress in Android studio. My Framelayout now looks like this. I do not however currently know what caused the warning.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="#dimen/inner_frame_layout_padding"
app:boxedEdges="all"
tools:ignore="MissingPrefix">
This seems to work for now.

How to make Android Studio's tools:listitem work on the merge tag?

I'm designing a pretty complicated form on Android, and I'm using includes in my fragment. I basically have this:
include_form.xml
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:orientation="vertical"
tools:parentTag="android.widget.LinearLayout">
...
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/desired_time_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:prompt="#string/time_desired_field"
android:spinnerMode="dialog"
tools:listitem="#layout/item_spinner_simple" />
...
</merge>
which renders beautifully on Android Studio's preview. However, when including this on another file, like this:
fragment_signup.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
...
<include
layout="#layout/include_form"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
...
</LinearLayout>
This renders well on a device, or a simulator, but it's not rendered correctly on Android Studio's preview: it basically ignores the tools:listitem attribute on the Spinner.
This works flawlessly for other components, such as a RecyclerView. Does anyone have an idea, or have I stumbled upon a bug? Thanks!
** Edit 1 **
Tried to add tools:listitem="#layout/item_spinner_simple" to the include tag and that didn't work.
** Edit 2 **
It really does seem that this is a bug. I've created a bug report:

Simple UI - how to?

Using Android studio 3.1, and I have a strange problem, I can't edit my UI,
I enter the content_main.xml, using the design tab, blueprint, anything i drag to the blueprint is not appearing, I use the infer constraints, still not helping
this is my XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/constraintLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText5"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:text="Name"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="53dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="168dp" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I would't recommand using the UI designer, you don't get the feeling of what you are really doing with it. You should learn how to directly edit the XML file, this isn't really harder and at least you know what you are doing.
You must drag the widget to the component tree

Unexpected namespace "map" - Android Google Maps API

Here's the entirity of my XML file. The imporant part is the map fragment at the end that gives me this error: "Unexpected namespace prefix found for tag fragment" It doesn't seem to impact the code but I'm curious if anyone knows what's up. I've seen posts saying it's a Lint issue or an Eclipse problem but I'm using the latest version of Android Studio.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_lakeside_webview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Lakeside"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_spinner_webview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Spinner"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<View
android:id="#+id/colored_bar"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="3dp"
android:background="" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- Unsure why it complains about the map namespace, the below code is recommended by Google -->
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
map:cameraBearing="0"
map:cameraTilt="30"
map:cameraZoom="16"
map:mapType="normal"
map:uiCompass="false"
map:uiRotateGestures="false"
map:uiScrollGestures="false"
map:uiTiltGestures="false"
map:uiZoomControls="false"
map:uiZoomGestures="false"/>
</LinearLayout>
As you say there is a known bug in the Android Lint. There are a couple of issues filed:
Issue 5002: Bug: Options can't be set on MapFragments included in other layouts
Issue 159039: Custom XML attributes doesn't work on tag in layout XMLs
Issue 53283: Library project namespace only working on root element
The last one updated on Jul 14 2016 states that "Please try again on a newer version of Android Studio (2.2 or greater). If the issue still occurs file a new bug."
As a workaround you can add this property to the fragment to ignore the error (I have tested it and the map:properties work as expected):
tools:ignore="MissingPrefix"

Tools that help building XML layouts for android

I am trying to build up android app layout and my problem is that one element has some weird padding/margin and I can't find where it's been given. I triple checked my code and I'm sure that elements in my XML layout have no specific margins or padding (images attached). Is there any way to figure out what is going on? I have turned on show element borders on my device and it wasn't very helpful. I'm a beginner in the Android world and I wonder is there any specific tool to help in this kind of situation? I would be grateful for any kind of advice. Thanks!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/monthPageTitlePageIndicator"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:clipToPadding="false"
app:backgroundTintMode="multiply"
app:tabMode="scrollable"
app:tabSelectedTextColor="#color/white" />

android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:text="AAAAAA" />
</LinearLayout>
The red line below shows the unwanted space:

Updated Android SDK and Android Studio messed up all my XMLs: "Element XXX not allowed here"

I just updated my Android Studio and Android SDK, and now I can't do anything in my XMLs. It shows the same thing as previous, but I can't add anything and something got messed up.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/bocterAppLogo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/bocterapp"
android:contentDescription=""/>
</LinearLayout>
It error says: "Element ImageView is not allowed here".
Do you have any idea why this has happened?
Cheers!
I had the same problem. Try to exchange the ImageView with the android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView! That solved it for me.
I also had the same problem. In my case, I was using a container from the old support library. So changing
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout ... />
to
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout ... />
solved it for me - with no change to the ImageView.
