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

As stated here this can happen when using the Gradle Tools v1.1.0. After updating to v1.1.3, this has not happened anymore.

Answer 2

I had the same problem.

It was caused by a corrupted file. If you added some new Drawable before getting this error, check them to see if they are correctly display in Android Studio Viewer.

Answer 3

Today I also met this problem. Here is how I solved it:

1. I built the app, then I saw the errors in the message window. They said the picture (with the full path) was malformed.
2. Then I found the malformed png which had the name xxx.9.png.
3. I renamed it to xxx9.png and rebuilt. There were no errors, and the java files with the red wave under the name are gone too.

Answer 4

Clean the project and build it again
