Errors in the execution of aapt in task processDebugResources or processReleaseResources generally happen when one or more resources of your project are unsupported   To find out go to the root dir of your project and run   gradle processDebugResources --debug   This will print aapt specific error  In my case it was a file in the assets folder whose name had invalid character  LE  O jpg   aapt doesn t support some characters in the Latin alphabet   But  as I explained your problem can be other than that  To know for sure you have to run processDebugResources with the option --debug

In my case this error was caused by empty layout xml file   I created the empty file but forgot to add any content to it  AndroidStudio gave this misleading error message  but when I executed the gradle build from command line I could see the real error like  Error parsing XML  no element found  and the file name   Adding basic layout xml content fixed the error

User · Answer

Looks like it could be caused by different root causes  While in my case  it s caused by  Windows OS cannot handle the path which is too long   so the  aapt exe  reported that error message   http   start-coding blogspot com 2015 07 android-development-in-windows-using html

Install the latest version of the build tools  Adjust your build gradle to use   android       compileSdkVersion  X      buildToolsVersion   X Y Z              Proper values should match your installed SDK  Could be 23 0 3 at the time of this post  or check and remove duplicate dependencies from list   Enjoy

I too was facing this issue just because i had renamed my project folder while project was opened in Android Sudio So Android Studio created another folder in that directory of my window   I found in my build gradle Module app   all the support libraries were updated and was throwing error on compile time of project   All you require to do is simply change updated support libraries to your current build tool version like this and rebuild the project   compile  com android support appcompat-v7 22 2 1  compile  com android support design 22 2 1  compile  com android support cardview-v7 22 2 1       my current build tool version is 22 2 1

In my case  answers of taciosd and Netero pointed in the correct direction  By analyzing   gradle assembleDebug --stacktrace --debug    Linux     gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace --debug   i found out that one filepath in the assets folder was too long and aapt exe stopped by returning 1  and no specific error message  when processing that file  It seems that files with non ASCII characters in names are not accepted as well

User · Answer

I was getting this exact same error  I ran the command    gradlew assembleDebug --info   Where  assembleDebug  was replaced with the assemble task for a debug version of the flavor I wanted   Look for output     Successfully started process  command   usr local opt android-sdk build-tools 21 1 2 aapt     Right below that was an error describing a resource which I used in a layout file but which was missing from the dimensions files  Fixing this fixed the build issue

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

I was also getting this issue    I generally face this issue when I import some sample or already existing module into my project  I just added latest v7 and v4 to my project from maven in android studio and got it fixed Removed duplicate dependencies from project like wise if your library project   and application project are using v7 or v4 or any other library   they should be of same version  or try to have it only in your library project
