    <p>I'm trying to make a minor change to AndroidManifest.xml using the APK Multi Tool (apktool). I am able to disassemble and make the change, but when I try to reassemble into a new APK, I get an error:</p> <pre><code>error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Preference'. </code></pre> <p>I believe that the line in the styles.xml is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style name="Preference.SwitchPreference"&gt; &lt;item name="android:layout"&gt;@layout/preference&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:widgetLayout"&gt;@layout/preference_widget_switch&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the full error log:</p> <pre><code>-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Tue 12/10/2013 -- 23:18:05.27| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- java version "1.7.0_13" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_13-b20) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode) I: Baksmaling...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
