I would like a guidance for kindness am beginner in Android Studio. I searched many forums and many searches and found no solution days ago.

When I create a file inside the folder drawable following error occurs:

Element linear layout must be declared.

I noticed that this also happens when I create a folder with file or only file outside the folder layout but within the res. Already the files inside the layout no kind of mistake happens when I create a new one.

    Why you want to create a layout outside the layout folder?

Layout files (Relativelayout and Linearlayout) should be inside the folder res/layout.

In this drawable folder you place image and Drawable Resources files, for example: layer-list, Shape, selector and etc...

You can check all accepted elements in this drawable folder in the Android documentation: Drawable Resources.
