android - If I change an external library: AndroidManifest, cannot parse file

Question

I open an older project which has a normal Android 2.2 external library registered. I want to use Google maps and I change the external library to Android 2.2 Google APIs. After that I cannot parse the manifest file and I get an error:

AnroidManifest.xml
Error: Cannot parse file

The error is on the 2nd line in the URI

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

If I hover the error, I get the message: URI is not registered.

What's even more weird, when I return an old lilbrary to the project (a normal 2.2), I still have the same error.

What could be the reason for this?

PS. The IDE I use is IntelliJ IDEA.

Answer 1

Try IDEA 10.5 EAP, it has improved Android support and easier SDK configuration. File | Invalidate caches may also help.
