how to fix 23.0.1\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Question

All of a sudden I cannot get Gradle to build any projects under Android Studio.

Error:Execution failed for task \':app:processDebugResources\'. com

Answer 1

In my case, I just used this 'android:drawableTop="2dp"' with a TextView. Obviously, it is an invalid reference. It is a good way to revert to the last git version when met with this problem.

Answer 2

Add Below Library in gradle file .

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2"
compile "com.android.support:support-v13:26.0.2"

Answer 3

I also faced similar problem, got it fixed by disabling "Instant Run" option,

File>Settings>Build,Execution,Deployment>Instant Run Under Instant Run tab, disable "Enable Instant Run to hot swap code.."

Answer 4

In my case, i was wrongly mentioned dp as d in dimension file. That cause this issue, once i corrected that value everything working fine. So due to some new added wrong values or files may cause this issue.

Answer 5

It might be a bit too late to answer, but I didn't find a perfect answer, so here what worked for me:

• make sure that all your files/fields in /res/ are correct.

I renamed couple of fields in attrs > declareStylable so they were pointing to non-existant enums and that's what caused a error for me.
