Failed to parse XML file for android
<p>I am basically brand new to this and working through an example in a book. 
my button1.xml looks like this.... </p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
    &lt;item android:state_pressed="true" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/buttonpressed" /&gt;
    &lt;item android:state_focused="true" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/buttonfocused" /&gt;
    &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/buttonnormal" /&gt;
&lt;/selector&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Main.xml...</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" &gt;

    &lt;ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/button_one"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingTop="5px"
        android:src="@drawable/button1"&gt;
    &lt;/ImageButton&gt;

&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>and I keep getting this error </p>

<p>I can't seem to figure this out. I searched and found many similar problems, but didn't find any of the errors myself. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>-- I did try switching two of the files (buttonpressed and buttonfocused) and still received the error at the same line of code. Then replaced all of the files with the ic_launcher file, this also resulted in the same error. If I set the android.src="#00000000" it does work. I don't know if this helps but seems to indicate the problem is not the files but in the button1.xml code. </p>

<p>so I got it fixed I think. I am not really sure what I did but retype the 
    android:src="@drawable/button1">
line. and poof it works. Thank you both for your help!  </p>
