• Library Version 2.2.4
• Affected Device(s) Redmi Note 5

Illegal char <:> at index 53 in values.xml file:

In may application i'm custom color picker dialog. for that i have used this library (skydoves/ColorPickerView) with latest version with 2.2.4. And when I try to Run 'app' it is showing Illegal char <:> at index 53: com.example.myapp.app-mergeDebugResources-38:/values/values.xml error. before that I have used another colorpickerdialog library and that was works fine. No errors like this are there. Also, I check that in my project there no values/values.xml kind of file.

Hey, thank you for reporting this issue. Could you please check if this issue is not happening in version 2.2.3?

[Dhanrajsinh002]

Yes, Same error

I don't think this issue is related to this library. I recommend building your project after cleaning or updating your Gradle/Compile, Target SDK/AGP versions.
