build.gradle:

Answer 1

If you have this exception issue with drawableLeft,drawableRight,drawableTop, drawableXxx etc... And your project buildToolsVersion > 26.0.2.

Go check your app level gradle file, remove vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true if exists, then crash gone.

This because buildTools will dispose vector resource after 26.0.2, but somehow conflict with vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true.

Tested at 2019/03/27.

(if you can't find your buildToolsVersion in you app level gradle file, this mean you're using Android plugin for Gradle 3.0.0 or higher, your project automatically uses a default version of the build tools that the plugin specifies. In this case your buildToolsVersion already large than 26.0.2)
