AAPT2 error: check logs for details(Build failed)

I just backed to my old project as I have been along time didn't work on it and I found a lot of errors as a build error in gradle as I use the compile instead implementation and many other process I tried to solve this error a lot but I failed as this my window error that's I couldn't recognize as I used also old Libraries from github
this is myGradle (build.gradle(Project:Waiterer))
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {

}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {

and this is build.gradle(Module:app)

}
and this is my second library I use

hope this could be clear enough If any some thing not clear tell me
Note that: I am not using API I use JDBC JTDS Connection to retrieve data from data base

Thing is developers are not comfortable to new AS still. Way of showing error is changed (is weird now).
First scroll to down in build errors. If you see an error, click to expand it. It will show you error most probably.
Second If that does not work (like i faced in data binding, where no errors were shown)
Then try build with debug or stacktrace
Go to
File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler
add like this (add --stacktrace or --debug), it will log the exceptions. You can see what is causing issue.

Okay, so the problem is with the AndroidManifest in your app module:
<activity android:name=".Main2Activity">
<service
android:name="SoftKeyboard"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_INPUT_METHOD"
tools:ignore="WrongManifestParent">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.view.InputMethod" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.view.im"
android:resource="#xml/method" />
</service>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
According to the documentation the 'service' element must be nested under 'application' not 'activity'. So change that part of code to:
<activity android:name=".Main2Activity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service
android:name="SoftKeyboard"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_INPUT_METHOD"
tools:ignore="WrongManifestParent">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.view.InputMethod" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.view.im"
android:resource="#xml/method" />
</service>
This will fix the error you are getting from AAPT2. For your project to build successfully you will also need to update your dependencies as described here. If you do both, everything should build correctly. :)

App Crashing in Kitkat 4.4.2

I am new to Android and new to this forum as well. I have done an Android app and it is running fine in Android Lollipop and Marshmallow. However when I try to open my app from Android Kitkat, the app is not opening up. Its suddenly closing by itself. I am of the feeling the it is due to the improper minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion. My build.gradle is as below:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {

keyAlias 'XX'
keyPassword 'XXX777'

My app has a splash screen on start and its not opening up in Kitkat 4.4.
My manifest.xml

Android Studio gradle build for android compatible Android – 5.0 Lollipop etc

I am able to successfully build APK file in Android studio by selecting minimum Android version is 5.0 (Lollipop) as part of creating android project in Android studio.
But when i try to install APK in Android mobile ( 5.0 version), it gives Package Parsing error.
i have also set minifyEnabled to true
i have noticed that Android studio includes "compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0" though i select minimum version is Lollipop (5.0) . V24.2.0 is for marshmallow.
any expert help me on this

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'
}

I got this error while building the android application
I made changes into build.gradle file(change 24.2.0 to 23.0.0) or change the version number.
defaultConfig {
applicationId "your package name"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1

packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
}
android {
lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
}
}
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
}

use the following code below the buildTypes in build.Gradle file
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' // will not include NOTICE file
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' // will not include LICENSE file
}
hope this will help you .

How to package a WatchFace only App for Google Play publishing

So far
I am developing a watch face app for android wear.
I have created 2 modules:
Wear - The Watch face that works fine on development
Mobile - An empty module with no activity as suggested by the comments
I have added the wear module to the mobile as a dependancy as described in packaging wear apps for the playstore
The app is in alpha in the playstore. I have uploaded the mobile-release.apk.
The app installs fine on my mobile but the wear module, the WatchFace will not install on my wear device. This is my problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Here are my manifests and Gradle configs
Mobile Manifest
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Any help would be much appreciated!

Well after some time it installed. Took several uninstalls/installs.
The updated manifests are result of the comments and thanks for that.
