Disconnected from the target VM, address: 'localhost:8600', transport: 'socket'

That is my xml file for MainActivity:

<?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"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar

            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:background="@color/colorAccent"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
        </androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/myTablayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:tabGravity="fill"
            app:tabIndicatorHeight="@android:color/white"
            app:tabMode="fixed" >
        </com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>

    </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>

    <androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/myViewPager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager>

In Gradle file I have implemented proper library: implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

Please help me with this. because this is my entry to android and I do not understand these errors yet.

Answer 1

You have a color entered where it is looking for a number (height), Line 22 I think

app:tabIndicatorHeight="@android:color/white"

Change this to a number an see if it works
