This issue has been covered before, but none of the solutions I looked at worked for me. I used apktool to decompile an APK
I created a while back, but didn't have the code for. At first I was getting issues I found out were a result of not having a support library, so I set that up, then almost every single line of code in attrs.xml
. A solution I found for that told me to just rename the name that had been assigned to it, so I did that, and the errors were gone. Now I'm getting these errors every time I try to run my project, despite no errors being highlighted in any of the files:

I believe I set the appcompat
support library up wrong, although the only thing I changed was the build target, although I changed that back after errors arose, figuring it would be best to change it later if needed. Any ideas on what the issue/s is/are?
