How can I fix errors in my colors.xml file?

Question

I am new to Android programming and running on version 3.6.3. I am having a Build failed: error 1; XML document must start and end with the same entity.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="androidx.constraintlayout.widget"> //This one is errorTagged with "Element manifest must be declaired."

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" //This one is tagged with "Tag start is not closed" but when I close it with '/>', it changes to 'Unexpected ending.'```

Paste your manifest file code complete one. Also, the error seems to be in the manifest file. Then y u mentioned coors.xml? — Prajwal Waingankar, May 05 '20 at 08:04

Hello Prajwal W, I mentioned colors.xml because I got the error from there and that code I have copied and just pasted from the same file and not the manifest. Hope you understand! — Klem Lloyd Mwenya, May 05 '20 at 08:18
Hi, in manifest you don't need to , see my color.xml in my answer as an example. — MMG, May 05 '20 at 08:42
