Can anyone help me in fixing this. I am new to android :(
I have added a screen shot of Android Manifest.
So far I have tried below steps to fix the issue. Still no help.
1) Clean Prjoect
2) Rebuild Project
3) File > Invalid Cache/Restart

This issue is now resolved. The error was raised due to the image file. I have changed the extension of an JPG image to PNG without using any editor. Due to this android studio started to throw the error. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. If anyone needs more clarification on this, just comment.

This appears to be a bug in aquiring a lock in some Java thread. I see this on my Windows 7 PC starting recently. I have had success by simply running Task Manager and then killing the java.exe process. If I then try again, the build seems to work fine.

The error is because the names of the files that are saved in your Drawable folder can not be capitalized. Rename the file and leave everything in lowercase.

Don’t save drawable images in capital case and it should be png not jpg else it will throw an error : Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'

Error:java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

This question have asked for several times and I follow those questions and tried to solve the problem. The project was successfully build and running I shut down my computer few hours ago. This problem is making me mad please help.

Please help .

This is normally a gradle build problem, try updating your gradle version.

I had a problem due to another package having installed which was creating clashes. As I uninstalled it, worked successfully.
I hope it would help someone else.

Just delete the .gradle folder from the project directory. Restart the Android Studio.
Note: .gradle folder is hidden in your Android Project Directory in MacOS. :)

Add ndk.dir in local.properties
ndk.dir=C:\Users\fatsnake\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\(version)
enter image description here

Follow the step :
1. Close Your Android Studio
2. Go to YourProjects/.gradle
3. Delete .gradle folder
4. Again open Android Studio
5. Rebuild Your Project.
You are done .

trouble processing "javax/xml/stream/events/StartElement.class":
Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*)
when not building a core library.
This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file
in your application's project, when using an IDE (such as
Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a
core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's
going on.
However, you might actually be trying to define a class in a core
namespace, the source of which you may have taken, for example,
from a non-Android virtual machine project. This will most
assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the
compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform.
It is also often of questionable legality.
If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only
appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine
distribution, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use
the "--core-library" option to suppress this error message.
If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact
building an application, then be forewarned that your application
will still fail to build or run, at some point. Please be
prepared for angry customers who find, for example, that your
application ceases to function once they upgrade their operating
system. You will be to blame for this problem.
If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a
core package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to
repackage that code. That is, move the classes in question into
your own package namespace. This means that they will never be in
conflict with core system classes. JarJar is a tool that may help
you in this endeavor. If you find that you cannot do this, then
that is an indication that the path you are on will ultimately
lead to pain, suffering, grief, and lamentation.

Libraries you haven't explicitly included, can sometimes be brought into your build transitively - as in, a library you did add, depends on another library.
You can run gradle dependencies to show a tree of dependencies to analyze which dependency pulls in which transitive dependencies.

I figured out the issue it was the stax-api-1.0.jar this included the javax.xml.stream.events.* classes after removing the jar i was able to build it successfully. This jar came with the comriva that is why i didn't notice it.

Problem is in your string.xml
find all occurrences of single-quote (') or apostrophe and add a back-slash escape character (\) before each occurrence.
XML cannot deal with (')
Basically, replace all ' with \'

Facebook SDK 3.23.0 with Android Studio 1.1.0

First of all, when I try to add it with "import module" and then "add dependency" I get the error:
Error:(19, 0) Could not find property 'ANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION' on project ':facebook'.
So I went ahead and created a gradle.properties file in the facebook module folder, then it gives me this error:
Error:(111, 0) Cannot call getBootClasspath() before setTargetInfo() is called.
For this I couldn't even find a similar problem on the web. Afterwards I tried to import it with maven. I followed the instructions on https://developers.facebook.com/quickstarts/ my build.gradle file:
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile files('libs/bolts-android-1.1.4.jar')
compile files('libs/Parse-1.8.2.jar')
compile files('libs/ParseCrashReporting-1.8.2.jar')
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.21.1'

From what I saw in other similar questions, I thought maybe both facebook and parse are trying to compile bolts-android-1.1.4.jar and I commented it out but nothing changed.
I am working on this 8 hours straight now, so any help is appreciated.

This is a known issue , which is fixed by updating gradle to :
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.2'
}
credit to this post.

Just take the maven way, your app's build.gradle should look like this:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.21.1'
// compile files('libs/bolts-android-1.1.4.jar')
// compile files('libs/Parse-1.8.2.jar')
// compile files('libs/ParseCrashReporting-1.8.2.jar')
}
And then in the terminal window go to your project's directory and type:
gradlew.bat clean
Reboot the Android Studio and you should good to go.

I had a similiar issue and I thought it was Facebook since it happened around the time I added their newest sdk to my dependencies in gradle.build but it was just plain oversight on my part. I had conflicting versions of com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.2 and 1.1.1 inside two different gradle.build files.
app/gradle.build
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.2'
...
}
top-level gradle.build
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
}
I commented out the line in my project's gradle.build file, ran gradlew clean from the command line, restarted Android Studio and then order was restored in the universe.

you can Refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/28697252/2657401
This solve my problem for Facebook in Android Studio 1.1.0
