Answer 1

I just found the source of the issue by using CTRL+SHIFT+F and looking for the problematic attributes in the code (of the entire scope). Turns out in my case the culprit was a third party dependency. Once i uninstalled it it was fixed. I guess the issue came from updating gradle and these outdated libraries somehow interfering with it. I still dont understand the nature of the issue exactly but I hope this helps someone else dealing with the same issue. I just spent waaay to long looking at this.

It seems your attr folder is damaged. Open the XML files inside the folder, check if everything ok

Secondly, if everything OK then try them one by one
