I had the same problem  but look at this image and I m sure u can find the answer in such situation   the problem was in a png file  when I fixed what android studio asked me  it worked  I hope it works for U too  click this photo    it shows where is the problem and what it is

Additional to all answers  I think it could have similar problems  My Problem was caused by png 9 files  If this files  have a  in my case  too small stretching area with just a few pixels  the building failed with  this error also  I have checked all these answers  but nothing helped  Giving a little bit bigger stretching area  solved the problem  I tested it many times  allways when I use small stretching areas it failed  So I am sure  it will help some poeple to make the stretch area a little bit bigger   The second problem  but this is just an assumption  is the icon name  maybe only for png 9 files too   For examle  I used an image named folder icon 9 png   with this one  it allways failed  Renaming it to other folder icon 9 png  it worked  So I think some names are used by the android system itself  maybe here is a problem too

Sometimes  it can be caused by wrong naming for xml or resource file   At least  for me  that problem was solved by changing name

User · Answer

You can get this error if you have invalid 9-patch files  If there is anything apart from black and transparent in the border pixels you will get this error  The easiest way of fixing this is to open it up in Android Studio and modify the borders  Just adding and removing one pixel is enough   It s worth noting that you won t see the bad pixels in AS  as the editor sets anything not black to transparent  but you will need to modify the file for it to save these changes

Today I also met this problem  Here is how I solved it    I built the app  then I saw the errors in the message window  They said the picture  with the full path  was malformed   Then I found the malformed png which had the name xxx 9 png   I renamed it to xxx9 png and rebuilt  There were no errors  and the java files with the red wave under the name are gone too

I had the same problem    It was caused by a corrupted file  If you added some new Drawable before getting this error  check them to see if they are correctly display in Android Studio Viewer

Even i had same problem this solution helped me so it might help you  check build version is matching with compile sdk version and add below code inside android block of build gradle  buildTypes           release               minifyEnabled false             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile  proguard-android txt     proguard-rules pro

I was also stuck by this problem But in my case I delete all  png images from drawable folder  clean and rebuild application and then paste all  png images to my drawable  rebuild again  It worked fine for me

User · Answer

This could also some extra reasons instead of the mentioned reasons     You have a crashed image   one of your images cannot be load adding an image to the drawable folder and modifying it s type  png  jpg  while giving it a name or inside the drawable folder using the rename function

I have had this problem before with adding png files  I have discovered the problem with some of them since cleaning your project and closing AS does not solve every problem   I did an experiment with GIMP when exporting images  Apparently  converting them to RGB fixes it  Some photos will be set to Indexed mode  Simply select Image Mode RGB  Then  export it and copy it into AS

I came here because i had this problem and non of the answers here helped me  For future user that could be helped here   My problem was I did two 9-patch images for a switch button  Then I rezized that image without 9-patching them  To solve the issue I had to 9-patch all the images for all the drawable folders  xxhdpi  xhdpi and so on

I was getting the same error and it worked for me  Hope it helps      As Niklas said  you have to update to the latest Gradle version      My way to solve the error    Open your Android Studio  AS  program  Go to your build gradle file in your project  Change   dependencies       classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 1 0    to   dependencies       classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 1 3   Sync your Android project with Gradle   Clean your project  Rebuild your project  Done      If its still not working    Close your Android Studio program and open it again  Try compiling the code  Done      If you need more help  read the issue on Google Code

After using pngcheck and resave all my image files to   png  the problem still   Finally  I found the issue is about   9 png files  Open and check all your 9-Patch files  make sure that all files have black lines as below  if don t have  just click the white place and add it  then save it

Ok  I just faced this problem and tried all of the steps mentioned above but didn t help  So what I did  I checked what image extension it was before I renamed it to  png  In my case it was  jpeg  So I renamed it back to  jpeg and kept the same original file in drawable  And bingo  it just worked fine   So the solution is  use the file without changing extension  be it  png or  jpeg  keep it the original way   Thought to share if it helps anyone  Thanks

It may happens because fake png files  You can use this command to check out fake pngs   cd  lt YOUR PROJECT res  gt   amp  amp  find   -name   png   xargs pngcheck   And then use ImageEditor Ex  Pinta  to open fake pngs and re-save them to png   Good luck

I had faced this similar error too  In my case it was one of my picture files in my drawable folder  Removing the picture that was unused solved the problem for me  So  make sure to remove any unused items from drawable folder

I have tried methods mentioned above  restarting the AS didn t work for me  and rebuilding didn t work either  Finally I found the problem was with the  9 png files  I deleted them and rebuilt the project  and it worked fine  Try it

Clean the project and build it again

Close android studio and open it again  Then try compiling the same code  I was getting the same error and it worked for me  Hope it helps

User · Answer

The problem might probably be due to the mismatch of the extension types given by the programmer and the actual extensions of the images present in the drawable folder of your app  or fixing this follow the steps given below -  Step 1- Double click on each of the image resources and and check the extension i e whether the image is png or jpeg or any other format   Step 2- Now check if the same extension is given by you in the drawable folder dropdown in package explorer a k a Android in Android Studio    Step 3 - If the extensions are not matching then delete that image and paste another image of the same name in its place making sure the extension is matching with the actual extension of the image  for example  if the image is  a png  then make sure the extension of the image given by you is also of  png type      Step 4 - Sync your gradle file and run the project  This time there should be no errors

As stated here this can happen when using the Gradle Tools v1 1 0  After updating to v1 1 3  this has not happened anymore
