LaTeX error when inserting code listing in LyX

Question

I am currently making a presentation in LyX. After I have inserted some XML code in a code listing, I am getting this error:

Paragraph ended before \lst@next was complete.
Paragraph ended before \lst@next was complete.
LaTeX Error: \begin{lstlisting} on input line 228 ended by \end{beamer@framep
Missing } inserted.
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.

What's the problem? Have I to escape some characters or something? I am pretty new to LyX.

EDIT:

Here is a little code snippet. Because I am working with LyX, the code is generated and looks a little bit confusing, I think. I hope you can read it.

Answer 1

Perhaps this should rather be a comment on egregs answer, but it became a little long.

I searched a little, and there is a module for creating fragile frames, that can be found in the LyX wiki. I don't know how to install modules, but I guess that information can also be found in the LyX wiki.

An alternative is to use ERTs (source):

1. Instead of starting a new frame the LyX way, add a TeX code box, or ERT, by hitting Ctrl + L, or choosing Insert --> TeX Code. In this box you write

   \begin{frame}[fragile]
   \frametitle{Title of the frame}
   

2. Add the listing.

3. Finally a second ERT with

   \end{frame}
   

Answer 2

I don't know how to do this in LyX, but a frame containing "verbatim" material such as a lstlisting environment should be declared as fragile:

\begin{frame}[fragile]
...
\begin{lstlisting}
...
\end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

Answer 3

In LyX 2.1, you do not need to enter LaTeX code directly to achieve frames handling fragile elements correctly.

Just select the frame and press Alt+A 3. The new field "Options" should appear where you enter fragile. Alternatively, right click on the Frame 'header', and select Frame Options.

Answer 4

use it this way:

before the frame insert with Ctrl-L for inserting LaTeX Code

\defverbatim\lst{%
\begin{lstlisting}
your xml code}
\end{lstlisting}
}

inside the frame place also with Ctrl-L the command \lst where the listing should appear.
