Error:com.android.tools.aapt2.Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error: check logs for details

Question

This is the output of my Gradle console, I am unable to build my project

D:\\Android Projects\\....\\app\\src\\main\\res\\layout\\topic_view_header.xml
Error         


        

Answer 1

Closing the project and restarting android studio fixed this issue for me.

While restarting, android studio notified that it needed to download missing SDKs, so once that was taken care of ,the issue was fixed.
