Check your resources, specially the file names. It sucks when android studio does not point out the real reason. It solved my issue.

Answer 3

After searching and using lots of suggestions i got a solution for this:

1)I am using nine patch images in my project and android studio doesn't accept abc.9.png image so rename this name to abc.png

2)When i am convert my images to nine patch images one image can't convert properly it shows "Bad Patches" i remove this image and recreate and i solved my problem, this problem is comes when i convert my project eclipse to android studio

3) put this in your gradle aaptOptions.setProperty("cruncherEnabled", false)

Answer 4

I got this error when I added an image I had saved in gimp as 'filename.9.png' (which I thought was enough to produce a 9-patch image) to the drawable folder. To solve the issue I just opened the image in the Draw 9-patch tool and moved one of the bounds around - it didn't seem to matter whether I moved it back to the same spot, just the act of moving the bounds seems to correct the issue.

Answer 5

maybe the image issue which u put into the mipmap ,delete the image and retry the gradle sync 汉语 就是你放到mipmap中的图片有问题 把他删了就好了 哎 真为我的英语捉急啊~~

Answer 6

I faced the same issue. I was using *.png files and the gradle Build kept on failing, despite multiple Rebuild-projects. Surprisingly, the moment I changed the file names from *.png to *.jpg, it worked!
