Android string.xml and style.xml parsing error

Question

 <style name="ButtonText">
    <item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
        <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
        <item name="android:layout_margin">3dp</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">30sp</item> 
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:shadowColor">#000000</item>
        <item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
        <item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
        <item name="android:shadowRadius">2</item>
  </style>

I am getting this weird error saying 'Originally posted here' on line

<item name="android:textSize">30sp</item> in my xml file. I am using android 2.3.

I am also getting error in style.xml

 <style name="ButtonText" parent="BaseTopBar">
        <item name="android:textSize">14dp</item>
 </style>

The error is 'Resource entry ButtonText already has bag item android:textSize'

Can someone help please.

Please post text, not images, or at least provide a textual description as well as an image. — Dave Newton

@user958263 Are you setting textsize property two time, may be this is the problem. — Dipak Keshariya

it seems like everything is right in your string.xml file You just need to clean and build your project.

if it doesn't work delete the bin/ and gen/ directory from your project than clean build your project.

and the error will not be shown anymore.hope it will help.

I had a similar issue but when using multiple array lists in my strings.xml.

enter image description here

It turned out that I had duplicate names for the arrays where I'd copied and pasted values.

Check that the style name ButtonText isn't duplicated somewhere else. You should have a corresponding error like the image below:
