Malformed Manifest - Tag <activity> missing required attribute name

Question

I keep getting the Tag activity missing required attribute name, Tag action missing required attribute name, and Tag category missing required attribute name errors when attempting to run my app. Manifest file follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.caom/apk/res/android"
    package="com.cobyllamarco.morsoul"
    android:installLocation="preferExternal"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="3"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
    <application
        android:name=".MorsoulDemo0"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="Morsoul Demo"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MorsoulDemo0"
            android:label="Morsoul Demo0"
            android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

I combed through to set all packages to lower case and sent it through an XML validator online(came back valid). Help please...

Answer 1

Your application & activity tags seem to have same attribute 'name=.MorsoulDemo0'. Only give an Application subclass as name attribute of application tag & give an Activity as name attribute of activity tag .

Answer 2

You have a typo in namespace.

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

There should be com , not caom .

I've tried to make this typo and get the same result: "missed 'name' attribute".
