I usually run my apps without any kind of problems. But, recently, I faced this problem in colors.xml : "Element project must be declared"..... How can I solve it???

That doesn't look like the correct format for `colors.xml` at all. It should comprose of a number of `
` tags contained within a ` – Michael Dodd Mar 14 '19 at 20:39` tag. How did you get your file in that state in the first place? -
This is an example of what a `colors.xml` file should look like: https://gist.github.com/sghael/2930380 – Michael Dodd Mar 14 '19 at 20:40

2@Zoe Good catch! I thought that had been resolved by now? – Michael Dodd Mar 14 '19 at 20:43

@MichaelDodd possibly, but if that's the case, I'm assuming that's an rc patch and not a full release. And even then, rollout is slow – Zoe Mar 14 '19 at 20:44

@MichaelDodd I don't know how did I get this file. I didn't even edit it. I was learning Android Development, I run the app like ordinary and I got that problem.... – Elliomara Mar 14 '19 at 22:23

This color file in your picture is not so related to colors.xml
- it should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="colorPrimary">#795548</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryDark">#6B4A3E</color>
<color name="colorAccent">#FF000000</color
</resources>
