"failed linking file resources" problem, Combined with a twist of "attribute orientat-CodePudding

I've been studying Xamarin for the past few months, decided to create my first app (a pretty simple straightforward calculator app*), I have been struggling with a CS0117 Resource problem although it solved itself after some exploring in stack overflow, when that solved, 2 other problems appeared,

"failed linking file resources." && "attribute orientation(aka com.companyname.calchopefullyfinal:orientation) not found".

I've been searching aswell for quite some time but no solution works for me, so thought I'd create a new ticket.. activity_main.xml file -

The styles.xml file if it matters -

<resources>
    <style name="calc_button">
        <item name="android:layout_width">95dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">85dp</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">25dp</item>
        <item name="android:onClick">ButtonClick</item>
        <item name="android:backgroundTint">@color/abc_hint_foreground_material_dark</item>
        <item name="android:padding">10px</item>
    </style>
    <style name="calc_button_func">
        <item name="android:layout_width">95dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">85dp</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">25dp</item>
        <item name="android:onClick">ButtonClick</item>
    </style>
    <style name="button_calculator_equal">
        <item name="android:layout_width">380dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">85dp</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">25dp</item>
        <item name="android:onClick">ButtonClick</item>
    </style>
</resources>

*I have tried to Clean/Rebuild All multiple times.

*Would add something if forgot.

Would very much appreciate any help since I've been sweating over this for some time now..

CodePudding user response：

"failed linking file resources." && "attribute orientation(aka com.companyname.calchopefullyfinal:orientation) not found".

For this problem, try to replace the following code:

app:orientation="horizontal"

with:

android:orientation="horizontal"

"failed processing manifest." && "resource style/AppTheme (aka com.companyname.calchopefullyfinal:style/AppTheme) not found."

For these problems, try to add AppTheme style in file styles.xml

Please refer to the following code:

  <resources> 

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
