Answer 1

Try code on your module build.gradle:

android {
// ...
aaptOptions.cruncherEnabled = false
aaptOptions.useNewCruncher = false
// ...
}

It means Android studio DO NOT check PNG strictly.

Answer 2

Try to check that, if you use a 9-patch image, it is in correct format (with black pixel on the edge and they mustn't touch the pixel of your image). I resolved this problem with changing a 9-patch image that is malformed. In my case the image touched the black pixel of 9-patch e android studio showed that error.

Answer 3

In my case I had one 9-patch resource in every screen density drawable folder. Black borders in every resource didn't match eachother so I stretched them up to the very corner, so they all matched.

This is the result:

And then it worked!

Answer 4

I got the same issue after I added 9 patch image in my project. Removing that image solved my problem.

Answer 5

Some times I also get this error

Rebuilding the entire project before running (Build > Rebuild Project) it doesn't show up anymore.

You can try this.

Answer 6

I got the same issue when I insert png image to drawable folder. I delete that image,clean project and rebuild it , the issue resolved.This worked for me.
