I have several manifest errors regarding some attributes . I have not made any changes to the manifest the application generated automatically yet i get several errors. *( I'm using Android Studio 1.2.2)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.iustinian.girlfriendsolver"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="14"
        android:targetSdkVersion="22" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.iustinian.girlfriendsolver.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

-For the xmlns:android attribute i get "URL not registered " -For android versionCode , versionName , allowBackup , label and theme I get "attribute not allowed here "

I took a look at the manifest documentation and couldn't find an answer . For example the allowBackup attribute is placed exactly like the documentation specifies .

Edit: after looking around some more I found that at android:theme "@style/AppTheme" I get a no resource matches the given name . This is the only thing that shows up in the Gradle Build . I have cleaned and rebuilt the project several times .

Just Close your manifest file and reopen it. It worked for me.
