Files under build folder are generated and should not be edited

Whenever a new project is started, the following error comes up

Files under build folder are generated and should not be edited

and the file v23/values-v23.xml is opened.

The previous answers pointed out that changes should be made only to the AndroidManifest file in app/src not the other one.

But here the error comes up just as a new project is created.

Just click on the "Clean Project"(Build > Clean Project).

This might work for you!!

For me the problem occurred while I've been trying to add Google Map Acivity after putting metadata with the key to other one.

Solution for me was to manually open app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and editing it in the notepad.

I think we faced the same problem:

enter image description here enter image description here

It came out after I update the Android SDK & SDK Tools to version 23. There must be something changed in the Android SDK & SDK Tools, I changed my compileSdkVersion in app/build.gradle from 21 to 23 (you may also need change the version of some other properties):

enter image description here

then click Sync Now (which will be shown after gradle file changed), the error disappeared.
