Multiple root error in Layout- how to fix it? - android

Hello evreyone,
I get this error from my Layout XML: Multiple root error. So I tried a lot to fix it yet could not find any solution, please help me about it:
this is my code from file layout xml:
thanks a lot :)

You can have only one element in your XML that doesn't have a parent. By sparse information you gave us, you have at least two root elements: <RelativeLayout> and <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout >.
To fix this error you just need to move </RelativeLayout> (closing tag) after DrawerLayout, that is to the end of the document. Or, probably better, move <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout > to the beginning, enclosing other layouts.
However even if you do fix error you're getting this is not good implementation. You should read more about DrawerLayout.

you are getting Multiple root error in Layout because of
in Android every xml file there must be only one root layout
so try to add single parent to your layout
sample code
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- add here your other controlls or layouts-->
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Duplicate FragmentContainerView in Android navigation components

I am creating a single activity application using jetpack navigation. Everything is working as expected. I have a requirement to make some fragments full screen.
Here is my layout xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout 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/main_drawer"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="?attr/colorSurface"
tools:context=".features.HomeActivity">
<androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
android:id="#+id/main_nav_container"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="#navigation/main_navigation" />
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/main_header"
app:itemShapeInsetStart="0dp" />
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
As you can see I have used the android:fitsSystemWindows attribute in FragmentContainerView.
But this is not working as expected and after inspecting the layout using Layout Inspector I am seeing duplicate FragmentContainerView in the view hierarchy.
Here is a screen shot of the view hierarchy.
The problem this creates is that the first FragmentContainerView has the fitsSystemWindows attribute set to true but the second FragmentContainerView doesn't have that attribute set. I also tried the Advanced Navigation Sample and inspected the view and it also has the duplicate FragmentContainerView.
Can anyone please explain this to me? Thanks in advance.

Constraint layout Overlapping Toolbar

im having an issue with layout. I am trying to get the constraint layout to be placed underneath the toolbar. However, it decides it wants to overlap the toolbar. I have tried using app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" with no luck.
The toolbar is creating in another xml file and called in using include.
Activity below
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
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:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="XXXXXX"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<include
android:id="#+id/test1234"
layout="#layout/app_bar_home"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_menu" />
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/test1234">
**Bunch of constraints here etc**
**Bunch of buttons here**
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Here is an image of what it looks like
What it should look like
Edit
It is fine when shown in the design view of the android studio. However when opened on a phone or emulator it is still broken.
App still looks like the second image when emulated.
With the fixes below
I faced the same issue then i cracked it with this.
in your constraint layout, write this
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior
You're implying this attribute to the parent tag. You must add this to the ConstraintLayout or the main content of the drawer layout.

fitsSystemWindows not working in Custom Layout within NavigationView

I have a custom View within the NavigationView. The problem is no matter in what combination, fitsSystemWindows is not working within the NavigationView. and the top item in the drawer always stays behind the transcludent statusbar.
main_layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#color/colorPrimaryBottomBar"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<include layout="#layout/navigation_main_drawer" />
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
navigation_main_drawer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/default_margin">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/default_margin"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
...
</LinearLayout>
<View
... />
<LinearLayout

</LinearLayout>
<View

<LinearLayout

</LinearLayout>
<View

</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
So, if I've understood correctly, you want your custom view to get the necessary padding so that its contents are not clipped by the status bar right?
If that's the case then you need to set
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
in your root DrawerLayout, and then set
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
in your NavigationView component. Note that's false, not true :)
REASONING:
The new NavigationView component designed by Google uses the 'fitsSystemWindows' property to customize how its content relates to the status bar. Note that "customize" here is the key word, because the hardcoded behaviour for this particular component is that its contents should overlap the status bar and reach the top of the screen, while the status bar itself should be transparent to allow the drawer's content to be seen through it. This is specified as part of the new Material Design, as can be seen in https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/navigation-drawer.html.
So, the only way to disable this behaviour is to tell the NavigationView to not signal the fitsSystemWindow property, and only set this in the root DrawerLayout that contains all other views, which will do what you would expect and pad all its children views appropriately.
Note that this reasoning is confirmed also by this comment from Android developer Ian Lake in a blog post talking about this specific property.
P.S.
I would also remove all mentions to the 'fitsSystemWindows' property in all the child elements in your navigation_main_drawer XML, just in case, although it probably does have no effect whatsoever as it is..

databinding must include a layout file

I have following very simple layout and wanted to switch to using data binding. Now I'm getting following error in my controller_main.xml:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dataBindingProcessLayoutsDebug_pro'.
****/ data binding error ****msg:[44 68 44 68 25] must include a layout
file:...\app\src\main\res\layout\controller_main.xml
****\ data binding error ****
Any ideas? The error says, the resource android:layout id in the include tag is missing (that's my interpretation of the error), but that's not true. Commenting out the include tag removes the error.
Does anyone see the problem?
controller_main.xml

android:layout_height="#dimen/tool_bar_top_padding" />
You should use layout instead of android:layout:
<include
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/tool_bar_top_padding"
android:id="#+id/stub_view_main_header_fixed"
layout="#layout/view_main_header_fixed"
app:elevation="0dp"/>
I had the exact same error, but for a different reason.
I was using <include> opening tag and </include> closing tag instead of <include for opening and /> for closing. It's little strange, but anyway your question helped me find my mistake. Thanks.

"Multiple annotations found at this line: - The markup in the document following the root element must be well- formed

Hi im just started programming and i just get this error message
"Multiple annotations found at this line:
- The markup in the document following the root element must be well-
formed."
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/jcea"
/>
</LinearLayout>
You're closing the LinearLayout element twice. Remove one of the closing tags, e.g.:
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/jcea"
/>
Replace the /> with a >, or remove the /.
In xml, /> is another way of closing a tag if it does not have any data associated with it. For example, the following two statements are both valid and identical:
<tag></tag>
and
<tag/>
That being said, you should change your code snippet to either:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/jcea">
</LinearLayout>
or
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/jcea"/>
