Problem on adding a new activity

Whenever I add a new activity (blank or other) in my layout two xml files are generated. One is actvity_<name_of_Activity_>.xml and other is content_<name_of_Activity>.xml. How do I resolve this problem?

Solutions

  • When you create a project for the first time you have to choose empty activity instead of blank activity. Empty activity doesn't create content_main res file.

Hope this helps!
