Please help me. Anyone?

Answer 1

Have you check the XML to see if it is valid? I would open it in a text editor and check.

Also the names of your layout elements.

Answer 2

You're probably missing the

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

at the top of your .axml file and/or

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

in the first element
