I have errors in my android manifest file:

```
Error:Cannot read packageName from C:\Users\brandon\AndroidStudioProjects\MineDodge2\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.x‌​ml
Error:The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

```

I tried to look on this website but the answers aren't working for me.

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    < manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
