I have used a LinearLayout in a CardView to get a kind of social media login button look and it all runs fine, but Android Studio flags Element LinearLayout is not allowed here
. I was wondering why this may be the case? My xml is this :
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_below="@id/cv_fb"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
card_view:cardElevation="3dp"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/ll_entitlement_extend_google"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="@color/white"
android:clickable="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:src="@drawable/google_icon"/>
<TextView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Connect with Google +"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:src="@drawable/ic_chevron_right_black"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
Just to have a proper answer, as @Blacklight said in comments, it is an IDE issue so restarting it should fix the problem.
