After updating my Android SDK I stumbled upon this very problem and I tried many ways without success. What was most irritating to me when searching for a fix, were the lots of answers suggesting to change the CompileSdkVersion to a certain number while obviously this number changes with time, so here's what I did instead.

I created a new project and ran it on the emulator to make sure it's working, then checked its "\android\app\build.gradle" file and copied the numeric value of CompileSdkVersion and pasted into the same file in my other project that could not be built properly anymore. Now my problem's gone. Hope that helps.

as a quick fix to this question  make sure your compile Sdk verion  your buildtoolsversion  your appcompat  and finally your support library are all running on the same sdk version  for further clarity take a look at the image i just uploaded  Cheers  Follow the red annotations and get rid of that trouble

Error Execution failed for task com android ide common process ProcessException  org gradle process internal ExecException       finished with non-zero exit value 1   One reason for this error to occure is that the file path to a resource file is to long     Error  File path too long on Windows  keep below 240 characters    Fix  Move your project folder closer to the root of your disk  Don t    folder folder folder folder very long folder name MyProject     Do   folder short name MyProject    Another reason could be duplicated resources or name spaces  Example      lt style name  MyButton  parent  android Widget Button  gt         lt item name  android textColor  gt  color accent color lt  item gt         lt item name  android textColor  gt  000000 lt  item gt     lt  style gt      And make sure all file names and extensions are in lowercase  Wrong  myimage PNG myImage png   Correct  my image png     Make sure to Clean Rebuild project    delete the  build  folder

I want to add that sometimes android studio loses track of the resources file and can t build on launch  If the above answers are to no avail  try  Build   gt  Rebuild Project   I lost many hours to this when I was a beginner at Android Studio
