Execution failed app:processDebugResources Android Studio

I'm using bitbucket so I can work with other developer but it seems that we can't get it to work flawlessly. I got this error after pulling the changes from him:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:

for me it was a missing Manifest that was to blame. I created a new module and forgot to add Manifest

The problem in my case was in my activity.xml . I had forgotten to add the reference in the beginning of the xml file. For example, I had this code

   <com.huawei.hms.ads.banner.BannerView
            android:id="@+id/hw_banner_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
            android:visibility="visible"
            hwads:adId="testw6vs28auh3" ------------------> THIS NEEDED REFERENCE
            hwads:bannerSize="BANNER_SIZE_360_57"/>

I fixed by adding this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:hwads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" --------> ADD THIS

This error has a chance of triggering when the API version AVD which you selected is not the same as you specified in Project_folder>android>app>build.gradle as compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion.

Earlier my API version was 27 and now it is 30. I have changed the values of the above two parameters to 30 and my problem got solved.

In my case, I needed to turn off Avast antivirus for a build time. Antivirus was blocking build when it tried to process this file:

platforms\android\app\build\intermediates\runtime_symbol_list\debug\R.txt

In my case, I changed the android section in build.gradle and the problem faded away:

android {
compileSdkVersion 28

lintOptions {
    disable 'InvalidPackage'
}

defaultConfig {
    // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
    applicationId "app.ozel"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
    versionName flutterVersionName
    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

buildTypes {
    release {
        // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
        // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
        signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
    }
}

it may help in the android studio 3.2.1 app build gradle it should be like

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.sample.mvphelloworld"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1

        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
       implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

In my case several red lines appeared like:

AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"error: resource drawable/start_gray_border (aka com.example:drawable/start_gray_border) not found.","sources":[{"file":"C:\\Users\\User\\AndroidStudioProjects\\example\\app\\src\\main\\res\\layout\\activity_start.xml","position":{"startLine":37}}],"original":"","tool":"AAPT"}

I tried gradlew build --stacktrace, rebuild, clean build, checked file names, checked if resources contained invisible symbols, LF, CRLF, changed libraries versions and so on. A problem was in new XML files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
...

Removed a duplicate tag. I understood where a problem is when reverting to previous commit in GIT. After that added several new files and saw what file raises error.

I stumbled upon this error while updating my Android studio to 3.0.1 from 2.3. After trying all the solutions above, i found that the issue was with the Build tools version. I was using an unsupported version of build tools. I changed mine as below and it worked.

buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'

As a rule of thumb always try to use the latest version of Build tools supported by your Gradle version. From version 3.0.0 of Gradle, you don't need to specify the build tools version as this is picked up automatically.

3.0.0 (October 2017) : Android plugin for Gradle 3.0.0

With this update, you no longer need to specify a version for the build tools—the plugin uses the minimum required version by default. So, you can now remove the android.buildToolsVersion property.

Banged my head around this for 2 days.

TL;DR - Got this error since My app name contained '-'.

Turn out android does not allowed that. After running gradlew build --stacktrace inside android directory - got an error that implies that.

aapt is 32 bit so will not execute on a 64 bit box until 32 bit architecture is enabled

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures  #  if prints nothing then below is fix

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  #  add a 32 bit architecture to box

sudo apt-get install -y lib32gcc1 libc6-i386 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6

sudo apt-get install -y lib32ncurses5 lib32gomp1 lib32z1-dev

it work for me.

Run gradle with --stacktrace option to see more information, what's wrong.

There may be some errors in your layouts like android:id="@id/ instead of android:id="@+id/.... At least that was the cause for my exception.

If it is not your build tools, check your strings, styles, attrs, ... XML files and ensure they are correct. For example a string with an empty name-attribute

<string name="">Test"</string>

or a previously undefined attr without a format specified (attrs.xml):

<declare-styleable name="MediaGridView">
    <attr name="allowVideo"/>
</declare-styleable>

I had the same problem, and since this question was the first hit on google, I'll add my solution too. For me, it was a missing format attribute in an attr element in res/values/attrs.xml.

Had the same problem. I changed the file build.gradle inside the app folder from this: compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.vastsoftware.family.farmingarea"
    minSdkVersion 11
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"

to this:

compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "21.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.vastsoftware.family.farmingarea"
    minSdkVersion 11
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"

and worked perfectly! hope it works for you too!

In my case I tried to change buildToolsVersion in gradle, but it didn't help me. My problem was fixed when I found drawable which called example.PNG. It should be example.png; There were no messages about wrong resource name, but after I renamed file, gradle built project fine.

I encountered Execution failed app:processDebugResources Android Studio after upgrading SDK repository. I use Android Studio 1.5.1, target SDK version 23. I was using buildToolsVersion 21.0.1 previously, changing buildToolsVersion to 21.1.2 solved my problem.

You might want to how I find version 21.1.2 suitable. It was recommended by Android Studio after successfully upgraded my SDK.

After changing buildToolsVersion to 21.1.2 (refer to my version settings below), you need to synchronize your Gradle build mechanism.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "mm.weboffice"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
}

Android Studio will prompt you to sync Gradle or you can go to "menubar > File > Synchronize" to trigger synchronization manually. Android Studio will rebuild your project after the synchronization.

I know there are many issues with the SDK database and configuration, my proposed solution may not fix all problems. But if you encounter the similar error after upgrading SDK repository, I hope my post solve your hassle. Good luck!

Getting this error, I did a build with --info (gradle --info build). It reported that it could not open libz.so.1, due to wrong ELFCLASS. It needs a 32 bit version of libz. I had to download the source, change the Makefile to gcc -m32, and install the 32 bit glibc development package (dnf install glibc-devel.i686). After making and installing this 32 bit library, I disabled the 64 bit one.

Then all went well.
