 ### Error: The file name must end with .xml
-This error typically occurs when non-XML files are placed in the `app/src/main/res/` directory. Android enforces strict rules on what can be included in the `res/` folder. If you're working with test or data files (e.g., .txt in our sample), you **MUST** place them in the `app/src/main/assets/` directory instead.
