I am beginner in Android Application. Hi! There is a compile-time error when I am coding the XML file. Can anyone help me what is wrong? The most outer Linearlayout keep complaining.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout                 **// This LinearLayout keep complaining**
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:weightSum="10"
    android:orienation="vertical">

    <!-- Radio Group on the top -->
    <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/rg"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:weightSum="3"
        android:background="#3BE5FF">

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rbt3"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_marginRight="0.5dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="0.5dp"
            android:background="#ffffff"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:checked="true" />

        <RadioButton

            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_marginRight="0.5dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="0.5dp"
            android:background="#ffffff"
            android:gravity="center"/>

Change your layout file to the one mentioned below

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"       
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:weightSum="10"
android:orientation="vertical">

<!-- Radio Group on the top -->
<RadioGroup
    android:id="@+id/rg"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="3"
    android:background="#3BE5FF">

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbt3"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginRight="0.5dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="0.5dp"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:checked="true" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbt2"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginRight="0.5dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="0.5dp"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        android:gravity="center"/>

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbt1"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginBottom="0.5dp"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        android:gravity="center"/>
</RadioGroup>

<!-- Input Window -->
<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="3"
    android:background="#3BE5FF">

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="3"
    android:background="#3BE5FF">

</LinearLayout>

As @Blackbelt mentioned, orientation is misspelled.

Also, you missed the xmlns:android attribute for the parent LinearLayout.

The accepted answer to this SO post explains its significance => What does "xmlns" in XML mean?

Wrong Orientation
