XML tag has empty body, no default activity

Question

I am new to working with XML and editing the layout in my Android application, and it gives me the error "XML has an empty body." Can someone tell me what I did wrong? This is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.record">

        <activity
            android:name=".RecordListActivity"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <receiver
            android:name=".PhoneStateListener"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

        <service

Answer 1

DailerActivity has empty XML body like <activity> </activity>

Replace

<activity android:name=".DailerActivity"></activity>

to

<activity android:name=".DailerActivity"/>
