... 123 morereplace the res folder with the res file of the previous project can build normally
this problem is probably due to the fact that you create a new project when you open an existing project and accidentally close the window when you create the project. When you create a new project, some of the xml files under res contain some code from the project that was opened at that time.

problem is similar to https://bbs.csdn.net/topics/3.
