I get this following error when syncing android project with gradle:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt
What does it mean? How do I fix it?
processDebugResources = You have resources (xml files, layouts, images, etc) that have errors or simply need rebuilt.
Cleaning the project may fix the error, but if not, there is often the actual error message within the Gradle console that tells which resource is the problem.
So, the solution to fixing it is usually to read what the full error says, not just the root exception.
First Clean Project and check that you have the latest build tools.(make sure to update support libraries to your current build tool version)
If error still exists Check if you added a resource that violates the conventions.
E.g. cannot have capital letters and such. eg : file_name.PNG
Or may be you rename a resource folder.In that case clear caches and restart!

this is my very first post, Big Deal to me, appreciate your help Colleagues.
I recently updated Android Studio, (this is why I don't like updating) it forced me to create a new gradle file it called Hello ESE.gradle (ESE being the Company's name), the file simple contains this :
group = "itet"
version = "1"
the updating placed this file in the res/values directory when I built, this caused an error saying the file needed to end in .xml,
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
/Users/lokeke/AndroidStudioProjects/CalorieCountdownAppforAndroidBrown/app/src/main/res/values/Hello ESE.gradle: Error: The file name must end with .xml
I thought a gradle does not belong in the values directory so I removed it and put in the build directory but now the errors are even worse, I moved this Hello ESE.gradle to other places where gradle could look for it but still nothing works it won't build, don't know what to do now (how I wish I could go back to pre-update!!!)
I just simply updated all the tools I was using, Gradle, SDK, the works, and transferred to the Hello gradle file to the gradle.properties directory, this seems to have fixed it.
I’ve got big nasty error message recently when trying to build app. This happened after Windows crash (Insider build, ha ha).
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.io.IOException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.UncheckedIOException: java.io.IOException: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable
Here is full Gradle console output: https://pastebin.com/ri58vYN7
What I already tried:
Delete /.gradle directory
Delete app/build directory
Invalidate caches / restart
Clean project, rebuild project
What can I do about it? Is the only way to start new project?
The crash should be a good sign for you to start learning and using a version control like git and start using Linux.
Usually, after Windows crash, one or more of your files in your project got corrupted. Sometimes the file becomes blank or contains cryptic text which the Gradle can't read and process. You need to check each file inside your project and fix it.
You must cherish the problems because it happens when you starting a new project. Start using version control or you will lost your precious time and project when Windows crash again.
Afaik, crash is a feature of Windows.
I am building an adroid project using clean assemble command on Jenkins.
My build is failing each time I run showing this error. Can anyone help me or tell me how can I resolve error related to app: and proguard.
Here is the part of log that shows error.
Error: Some file crunching failed, see logs for details
:app:mergeClient_flavourDebugResources FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeClient_flavourDebugResources'.
> Error: Some file crunching failed, see logs for details
You must be using some resource with unsupported characters in the file name. Check the names of your files in res folder of your project.
It can also happen sometimes if you are using 9-patch image in your project.
If you are using 9-patch image in the project then modify that image slightly with 9-patch editor of android studio and then try to build project.
I am not able to figure out why this error is coming
Here is full error
Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebugAndroidTest'.
> java.io.IOException: The output jar is empty. Did you specify the proper
'-keep' options?
My gradle android project was not having "androidTest" so I created manually and test folder here is screenshot of folder structure
I would not consider it as perfect answer but this is what i did.
I removed testInstrumentationRunner="android.support.test.runner....." from build.gradle file and restarted
It starts working :)
It is just for information
I am having trouble with getting rid of the error Cannot resolve symbol 'R'. I have done some research but none has worked. Among the tips i have tried out include Tools->Android->Sync Project with Gradle Files after which I executed the Build->Clean Project. The clean project command resulted with the following error;
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. > Crunching Cruncher abc_btn_radio_to_on_mtrl_000.png failed
My xml files have the following error:
NOTE: This project contains Java compilation errors, which can cause rendering failures for custom views. Fix compilation problems first
Exception raised during rendering: action_bar
What might I be missing? I will appreciate any help or pointers.
In the comments above, #Udit posted a link to another sort of related question from which I was able to get a solution. Incase you run into a similar problem, the solution is quite simple. Reboot Android Studio and then go to Build->Rebuild Project. Hope this will sort out your issue as it did mine. Thank you all for your contribution.
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. > Crunching
Cruncher abc_btn_radio_to_on_mtrl_000.png failed
--->Is this error message from the gradle console?
Because this happened to me once when the PNG file I used wasn't a "pure" PNG file. Like for example: An image I found from the internet that wasn't really a PNG file(ex: jpg/Gif image) but I just renamed it to to a ".PNG" file upon saving it then directly copied this to res/drawable. So to fix this I deleted the image and used a real PNG file by either editing it on Photoshop or a real png file from the internet or whatever and then did #Biko's advice which was to Reboot Android Studio and then go to Build->Rebuild Project.
