Invalid file name: must contain only [a-z0-9_.] - android

I have file /FavoriteTwitterSearches/res/menu/FavoriteTwitterSearches.xml in my android project. When I want to run the project - i get error "res\menu\FavoriteTwitterSearches.xml: Invalid file name: must contain only [a-z0-9_.]". But if I change the file name for a-z,0-9 there is another errors in /R.java/R/string/confi
like
Multiple markers at this line
- Duplicate field R.string.confi
- Syntax error on token "rmTitle", delete
or
Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error on token "rmMessage", delete
this token

"res\menu\FavoriteTwitterSearches.xml: the res folder accepts only small case letters
change your file name to
favoritetwittersearches and it will work

Capital letters are not allowed in naming any .xml files. using it will give you an error.

Can not extract resource from com.android.aaptcompiler.ParsedResource#4510599a

Look into the resources in ids.xml file and comment out each id one by one and try to simulate the emulator. I also had this problem but when I removed the EditText id from the resources of ids.xml, then the issue was resolved.

Xamarin Forms Error "invalid resource directory name: /Path/res Icon "res Icon"

Yesterday everything worked fine and the app get build successfully.
But when I want to build the app now, I always get the following error:
invalid resource directory name:
/path/to/project.android/obj/Debug/Ip/26/jl/res Icon "res Icon".
Does somebody know how to fix that?
It seems like you have a space character in the name of your resource file or directory which is not allowed:
"File-based resource names must contain only lowercase a-z, 0-9, or underscore"
I don't know how but this fixed my problem.
Use incremental Android packaging system (aapt2).

How to change android application resource id value

Generally, AAPT is packaging an application with fixed resource id, and the id value is starting with "0x7f".
I want to replace this integer value with other value, like "0x6f" or something.
I found the code line to handle this, and modified the aapt code. (path : /frameworks/base/tools/aapt/)
But, when building an application, I got the build error message like:
/apps/myapps/AndroidManifest.xml:9: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '#drawable/ic_launcher_app')."\
Is there any way to solve this build error ?
According to this Android resources dev page you should never modify the R file yourself as it is generated automatically
Caution: You should never modify the R.java file by hand—it is generated by the aapt tool when your project is compiled. Any changes are overridden next time you compile.
That means ic_launcher_app image not in your drawable folder. And also if you change image format manually like .jpg to save as .Png without using any software that AAPT(while compile resources into binary assets) issue will occur.so use proper image formats.

System did not generate an Id for my new xml layout and show me same errors

I have 2 problem that I think both of them is for one reason:
When I try to add a new XML layout; that XML fail add successfully but in "Console" show me it:
[2014-05-04 18:41:11 - Example] W/ResourceType( 5804): ResXMLTree_node size 0 is smaller than header size 0x14.
[2014-05-04 18:41:11 - Example] D:\Android\Workspace\Example\res\menu\main.xml:4: error: Error: Resource id cannot be an empty string (at 'actionLayout' with value '#android:layout/').
and I can get resource to it in classes.
In "problem" tab:
Errors: Unparsed aapt error(s)! Check the console for output.
Location: line 1
Type: Android ADT Problem
and I cant solve it
Please same one help me ...
I sorted this out. So for anyone else still on the learning curve with me, the solultion is as noted in my comment. In addition -
aapt = Android Asset Packaging Tool From the Developers Guide - "The Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt) takes your application resource files, such as the AndroidManifest.xml file and the XML files for your Activities, and compiles them."
The solution for me was simply to delete the error on the 'Problem' window (right click | delete). Then, force a rebuild by rerunning the app. Any remaining problems will now show up and be logged so you can track them down.
Hope this is helpful to others.
