Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources' even with latest build tools

Question

I am getting this error when I try to run my project. I have installed the latest build tools- 23.0.3 but still the error persists. How do I fix this?

Execut         


        

Answer 1

Error:Execution failed for task com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException:

finished with non-zero exit value 1

One reason for this error to occure is that the file path to a resource file is to long:

Error: File path too long on Windows, keep below 240 characters 

Fix: Move your project folder closer to the root of your disk

Don't:// folder/folder/folder/folder/very_long_folder_name/MyProject...

Do://folder/short_name/MyProject

Another reason could be duplicated resources or name spaces

Example:

---

And make sure all file names and extensions are in lowercase

Wrong

myimage.PNG
myImage.png

Correct

my_image.png

Make sure to Clean/Rebuild project

(delete the 'build' folder)
