TECH TO THE POINT

ERROR: \Release\android\AndroidManifest.xml(0,0): Error: Error parsing XML: unknown encoding ( ) CAUSE: Android Application  Version Name  is not in right format (encoding="utf-8") , so it is using a default with  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> FIX: In the project options set android application - versionName to 3 digit version like "1.0.0",  not "1" or  "1.0"  Ex: android:versionName="1.0.0" After this change the code will compile and you can see this following line in the obj\Release\android\AndroidManifest.xml(0,0) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 ISSUE: Node.js modules build errors NPM install Errors:  '../build/Release/bson' 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'  js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, node-gyp.js rebuild, ENOENT CAUSE: Even  if python path is set in the Windows' environment variable and in the path, node-gyp is not picking the python path . If you type 'python' from any directory it might work. But node-gyp will still through these errors.  It is confusing as in CLI python works if you call python.exe, but node-gyp doesn't find it, so you decide to try on every thing else you can find online. - If there is a C++ error , node-gyp rely on visual studio's C++ compiler to build. You might need to set Visual C++ path or version in the CLI command.  - long directory or path name issue in Windows: Windows only can handle 260 charecters in a given path name (oooooooooops. This is not an easy fix for windows as the core OS is built on top of this limitation.) . You have to make it sim...

ERROR: The name ‘Resource’ does not exist in the current context, CAUSE: - You tried to change namespaces in the project. Most of the time when you try to work with open source code  , you might like to change the naming convention relevant to your  project (depending on the license) . When you try to change namespace in the code, there are 3 major places it affects when compiling. In this  3 items are dynamically created . But they don't get modified if you make a major change like Namespace in your code. 1. Project default Namespace setting. 2. Resource.design.cs 3. obj/debug/ * 4. bin/debug/* FIX: Change the 'default namespace' setting in 'Projects' > [project name] Options - in general tab. Rebuild the project and if you get the same error again , open all the files (or Find and replace) the old Namespaces with new Namespace. Rebuild again this will create a new Resource.design.cs  If the Error occurs again - Open this file and verify...

ERROR:  No resource found that matches the given name (at background with value '@drawable/XxxXxx') FIX: Use all lower case when you specify the image file name in the Values / styles.xml. It doesn't matter if you have camel letters in the filename under the Resource Folder. Example:  Instead of this, < item   name = " android : windowBackground " > @drawable/ Splash < / item > Use, < item   name = " android : windowBackground " > @drawable/ splash < / item >
