Android studio - Content is not allowed in prolog

Question

I'm trying to create a signed apk file - using the Build -> Generate Signed APK - but I get a weird error:

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.

I'm using Android Studio 0.6.0 - does anyone have any idea why does this happens?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In intellij idea I do this.

1. close Intellij idea
2. go to your workspace
3. deleting .idea folder
4. open your project and import it.
