Java Question XML error

[barx]

Can anybody spot why this Documentation code causes an
'The XML is improperly formatted. Please escape if necessary'
Error?

/**
    * Sets the parameters for a progress bar used in a notification. Only use with "twotextplusprogress" Preset or if defined as part of a user defined layout.
    * For Preset layout the id is "progress".
    * 
    * maxProgress - the upper limit of the progress bar. A good value is 100
    * progress - the current level of progress to be shown. Must be <= maxProgress. 
    */

Got other ones that are very similar and they are fine.

Tried escaping the " quotes with /". Again other codes with ""'s in are fine?

Got me a little puzzled.

Try to replace < with &lt;

Just thought of that whilst at work. It clicked that xml uses < and > tko mean important things. You have just confirmed my thought. Cheers. Will give it a go when I get home.

Rather than create a new post with the same title, I'm having formatting issues again. Can anyone see what is the issue here:

   /**
    * Initializes a Hover Listener against a given View.
    * 
    * View - The View that will react to the Hover event
    * EventName - The sub that will handle the events
    * 
    * Be sure to add the following to the manifest using the Manifest Editor:-
    * addactivitytext(Main, <intent-filter>
    * <action android:name="com.sec.android.airview.HOVER" />
    * </intent-filter>)
    */

I believe the issue lays with the manifest edit.
The original text reads:

addactivitytext(Main, <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.sec.android.airview.HOVER" />
</intent-filter>)

After a little more investigation, it appears it may not be this doc section, yet this is the only doc section in the lib.

Here is the full XML for the lib

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
    <doclet-version-NOT-library-version>1.02</doclet-version-NOT-library-version>

I guess that you tried to remove the doc section and still got the same error, right?

 

[barx]

Yes, i did.

As a list resort late last night, I tried restarting b4a. Even though I had been refreshing the lib list, unchecking and checking the lib and cleaning the project.

Restarting b4a seemed to fix. Strange but true...
