AAPT: error: not well-formed (invalid token)

I am working on an application, with following XML. This the XML of my Sign In Fragment. But when I try to clean/build my project the following error occurs:

error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)

Answer

The second-to-last line of your file has

</>

which causes your XML file to be not well-formed. Change it to

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

to properly close a previous opening tag of the same name.
