Layout Tutorial Bug: You must supply a layout_width attribute.

[chipolata]

Hello, I am brand new to this Android Development community and development. I have installed the emulator and sdk and I'm now practicing with some basic tutorials I found here: http://developer.android.com/guide/t...earlayout.html.

I am currently working on the Linear Layout option which for some reason I am unable to run. I have been digging in forums for the past couple of hours but there does not appear to be a clear answer to the problem.

Every time I try to run the application I get the following error:

The Application Hello, LinearLayout (process com.etc...) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

When I build the application, there are no errors but when I open up the LogCat window I get Binary XML file line #48: You must supply a layout_width attribute.

First of all there on line 48 ther code in the XML file is:

android:orientation="vertical"

Secondly on line 49 I have:

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Just as instructed by the tutorial.

Why does it fail?

Thanks!

All I can say is check the tutorial again. Following the same tutorial I get no problems, and it runs just fine.

(All I did was copy and paste it, so what "they" have is exactly right).
