syncadapter android developers has errors parsing in eclipse

I am following android developers tutorial on syncadapters and i have the following error in the syncadapter.xml inside /res/xml/.

[2014-05-22 15:37:07 - InSituApp] res/xml/ syncadapter.xml: Invalid file name: must contain only [a-z0-9_.]

syncadapter.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sync-adapter xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:accountType="sync.adapter.datasync"
    android:allowParallelSyncs="false"
    android:contentAuthority="sync.adapter.DataContentProvider"
    android:isAlwaysSyncable="true"
    android:supportsUploading="false"
    android:userVisible="false" />
Solution

  • Like the error says, you have an invalid file name.

    If you look carefully you have a space as first character. Change it to syncadapter.xml.
