Android: Attribute is missing the Android namespace prefix in Manifest for parent tag

Question

in my manifest I use this:

<activity
            android:name=".Overlay"
            parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"
            android:label="@string/label"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.Overlay" >
..
</activity>

Everytime I change the xml I get the this error "Attribute is missing the Android namespace prefix" After a project->clean it works until i change the xml again. android:parent does not exist, so what is the problem here and how to fix it?

thanks tata

What are you trying to do with `parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"`? — Sam, Mar 17 '13 at 16:59
i found it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2176922/how-to-create-transparent-activity-in-android#comment10440296_2700683 but i think this suggestion is not valid. — user1324936, Mar 17 '13 at 17:29
@user1324936 the comment was probably talking about `styles.xml`. — A--C, Mar 17 '13 at 18:05
