Failed to crunch file - Android studio (app:mergeDebugResources)

Question

i am currentyl trying to implement Google ActivityRecognitionApi. However i get following errors:

Error:Failed to crunch file C:\\Users\\marschall\\

Answer 1

which means that the path is too long to reach that particular file. make sure that your project is placed under the parent directory(do not go greater than 4 levels ).

example:

C:\Users\marschall\Desktop\googlesamples-android-play-location-2ed2964\ActivityProject

instead use :

C:/your project directory/your project file

the best practice is keep the project as easily available to the compiler.
