Nothing helped , but I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.

Solution

  • Look at the error you're getting:

    activity_main.xml:65: error: resource android:attr/lightRadius is private.

    In your activity_main.xml you're trying to use a private android attribute. That means you don't have access to it (think like trying to access a private method in Java from a different package!). Remove that attribute and it should compile.
