body: <p>I am getting <code>Error:(26) No resource identifier found for attribute 'srcCompat' in package 'learnapp.android.example.com.learnapp'</code>
  when I try to run my app.I have just started learning android today.I have added a new activity and dint change anything in any xml files.</p>
  
  <p>This is the exact error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Documents/MyProjects/LearnApp/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_display_message.xml
  Error:(26) No resource identifier found for attribute 'srcCompat' in package 'learnapp.android.example.com.learnapp'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my activity_display_message.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

          android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
          app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have already read similar questions and saw that either the line </p>
  
  <pre><code>xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <pre><code>app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>was wrong in their case which is not in my case.</p>
  
  <p>Incase it matters this activity's parent activity is MainActivity.java</p>
