Android IllegalArgumentException: The tag for fragment_XXX is invalid. Received: layout-sw600dp/fragment_XXX_0

I am currently trying to configure the layouts of my app to support multiple screen sizes. This process needs a lots of testing by my side, so I continuously keep deleting/moving/refactoring layout files.

However, at the moment i cannot resolve the exception as written in the title because it is being shown every time i run my app. Before this exception i had another layout folder called layout-land and then just deleted this folder and moved its content to the layout-sw600dp folder.

I 've tried multiple ways to solve this issue:

  1. I deleted all the extra layout-(s)w* folders
  2. Did a restart of Android Studio and invalidated caches
  3. Project clean/rebuild several times

Is there anything else that it would help me?

EDIT

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The tag for fragment_XXX is invalid. Received: layout-sw600dp/fragment_XXX_0

I had the same problem. In my case, even though I Invalidated cached files and restarted android studio, I still would have got the same error. What worked for me was I searched layout-sw600dp in the root of my file directory, and 2 JSON files containing that phrase popped up. I deleted those, and after that, everything worked just fine. I hope it helps you too.

Set the view to 'Packages' by clicking the dropdown icon on the top-left side of Android Studio. It will list all the layout directories created. Delete the layout-sw600dp dir and any other directory you don't need. Clean and rebuild your project. The error will disappear.
