Error parsing XML: unbound prefix

Question

The error "error parsing XML: unbound prefix" shows up on my main layout: main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="1" android:layout_width="-2" android:layout_height="-2" style="@style/RtlOverlay_Widget_AppCompat_ActionBar_TitleItem">
    <TextView android:ellipsize="3" android:id="@id/action_bar_title" android:layout_width="-2" android:layout_height="-2" android:singleLine="true" />
    <TextView android:ellipsize="3" android:id="@id/action_bar_subtitle" android:visibility="2" android:layout_width="-2" android:layout_height="-2" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/abc_action_bar_subtitle_top_margin_material" android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>

**1.** Post xml code here **2.** Now if possible use Android studio — Bhavin Patel, Mar 05 '17 at 12:18
Agreed with b developer - Google has stopped supporting Eclipse for Android development. You should transition to Android Studio. — BR89, Mar 05 '17 at 12:26

You have not declared the android XML namespace. Add the following to your root LinearLayout element:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
