Android Kotlin Fundamentals codelab: #355

Closed nisathnasar closed 1 year ago

nisathnasar commented 2 years ago

Describe the problem Task requires to create a Text view with the xml attribute: android:background | "@color/colorPrimary"

The project doesn't have colorPrimary in the color folder, probably due to an update, I can see it inside the res/values/themes/themes.xml (or) themes.xml (night)

In which lesson and step of the codelab can this issue be found? Unit 1.3 Task 1.6

How to reproduce? Create a fresh project and call this line of code in a TextView attribute.

Versions

  1. Android Studio Dolphin 2021.3.1
  2. Marshmallow

Additional information I've done Android Dev before but just trying to brush up and I can tell this has definitely changed. I checked the entire lab to see if they mention the error and tell us to assign a new primary color value in colors.xml but it doesn't which means it must be a mistake. In addition, what seems to fix the issue is type this instead: android:textColor="?colorPrimary"
