Thanks for your feedback.

Based on your error message:

Error APT2000 expected reference but got (raw string) #000000. D:\res\values\values.xml 6 Normal "

The problem is when you make a mistake when referencing colors in values by way of #000000.

In Android, it is usually defined a color alias with Color, and refer to it in the way of @aliases.

<color name="black">#000000</color> <item name="background">@black</item>

If you set the color this way, will the issue occur?

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Thank you Ahamed for your response.

In my case, this error was encountered while building the project.

I deleted the bin and obj folder and cleaned the projects but that is also saying the same.
