Question

I have this error when trying to make a module of a project

apply plugin: \'com.android.library\'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 17
    buildToolsVersion \         


        

Answer 1

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.
