blocked with Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'. > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

Till yesterday everything was working fine.
I didnt update anything in between.
But all of sudden, i am keep getting this error "Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt"
I tried updting sdk to 27.0.0, but still getting the same error message.
Tried deleting .gradle folder and build folder and cleaning project many times. But not help.
What went wrong here?
Here is my build.gradle(app)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.udayrepo.doctortracker"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

The above error is really annoying without any clues where the problem is.
As many others said, i tried exploring replacing each of these libraries in my app.gradle file.
I search each of the latest packages in Android SDK Plackage and updated each package in my gradle file with below
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
then it started working.
I am just sharing the solution as it may help others aswell. Just look for latest and update install required packages.

I had the same issue in react-native project,
the below lines worked for me,
compileOptions {

}

Update your Guava version
Guava 21 is Java 8 only.
Update your gradle to Guava version 27.0.1-android, which is compatible with Android:
Gradle 4.6+:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
}
Previous Gradle versions:
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
}

I had same problem and I solved it cleaning project and rebuilding it.
In Android Studio go to Build --> Clean Project and after, Build --> Rebuild Project
Hope it helps

I had the similar case when I switched to OkHttp 4.x. It turned out that I had to disable the method profiling in run configuration:
Edit Configurations -> app -> Profiling tab -> uncheck Enable advanced profiling. It solved my case but I cannot use profiling now on older devices.

In my case, I was getting the error because I was clicking the Debug 'app' button while my build variant was set to release. When I changed my build variant to debug, then clicked the Debug button again, the error went away. I hope this helps someone.

I had the same issue and my problem was dependency conflict.
I searched for the conflict via the gradle dependency tree:
gradlew app:dependencies
Then I excluded the module for the conflicting library (e.g org.json:json):
api ('<conflicting-library>',{
exclude group:'org.json', module:'json'
})

"Unable to merge dex" when using room

I'm trying to add a "room" to my project.
When I try to build a project, I get an error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex
What I have already done:
Clean/Rebuild project
I added "multiDexEnabled true" in defaultConfig{}. Then I get the error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.
java.io.IOException: Can't write [C:\Users\user1\AndroidStudioProjects\git\mobile\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar]

If I remove the "room" from my project, it is build without errors.
I'm using Android Studio 3, gradle build tools 3.0.0.
This is my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.5'
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "trsnet.gtp2.com"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 23
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
compileOptions {

targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
dependencies {
compile files('libs/commons-codec-1.9.jar')
compile files('libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-3.0.0-jar-with-
dependencies.jar')
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:+'
compile 'io.reactivex:rxandroid:1.2.1'
compile 'io.reactivex:rxjava:1.1.6'
compile 'com.jakewharton.rxbinding:rxbinding:0.4.0'
implementation 'android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.0.0'
annotationProcessor 'android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.0.0'
}

I was having this problem too and it took me quite a while to solve, but I finally got it. ROOM uses some of the support-v4 libraries so this is why you are getting the error that there are duplicate zip entries. In my situation, ROOM is using components from an earlier version than what I needed. So what worked for me (found here) is adding the following to the root level of the Gradle file:
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
What I found this does is it prevents libraries from including any support-v4 components, but then you have to manually include the necessary components for both ROOM and anything else you might need. If you need to find out exactly which libraries are duplicates then you can follow these instructions to look into each library and it's dependencies.
Slightly unrelated note: As of Gradle 3.0 using the compile configuration is deprecated and should be replace with implementation or api, a nice explanation can be found here.

How to add dependencies in gradle file in android for Firebase for database and auth together?

I am extremely new to android and trying the firebase where i am trying out firebase auth and firebase database.
I could successfully complete the auth functionality and below is the gradle file contents for app module just after it.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.cirvi.laxmimobileshopee"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 24
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.1'
compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.0.2"
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
Now for the next step i want to use firebase database in the same project and i update the gradle file by adding the dependency
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.6.1'
As soon as i do it and start the sync i get the following error
Information:Gradle tasks [:app:generateDebugSources, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources, :app:mockableAndroidJar, :app:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies]
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
> Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 9.6.1.

Below is the code for my project gradle file.

}
I tried to update the google service version in the project gradle file but then ran into other issues. As i am new to android and trying things out i am stuck and not able to figure out currently how to resolve this. Can anyone guide me or help me?

Try this
Go to project level build.gradle & check if it looks exactly like this:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
}
set same dependency for both
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.6.1"
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.6.1'

Try this:
Build > Edit Libraries and Dependencies...
Now, search for available modules:

You have to use the same versions of firebase.
You used version 9.0.2 of auth and 9.6.1 of database.
Also I suggest to use the latest version of the firebase SDK
Add
com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.4
com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4

Add this dependency from your needs
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.3'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.1'

From error i can say you'll have to add the following gradle dependency :
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'

For this error i think you are compiling JAR library twice. You are using
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
in build.gradle file so it will compile all library that has jar extension on libs folder, so You can remove this lines:
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.3.2'
compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'
compile 'com.daimajia.slider:library:1.1.5#aar'
If issue still exists then issue is quite possibly due to exceeding the 65K methods dex limit imposed by Android. This problem can be solved either by cleaning the project, and removing some unused libraries and methods from dependencies in build.gradle, OR by adding multidex support.
defaultConfig {
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}

Did you forget the version? In your gradle config you should have something like this:
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'

In my case, I deleted caches folder inside .gradle folder and then I added compile. It worked for me!
