Error: The file name must end with .xml or .png

Even though I didn't choose photothumb.db as a drawable, I get an error saying photothumb.db should end with .xml or .png

my profilesmaller image is of type png

Below are my codes

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/profilesmaller"
    tools:context="charlenebuena.guest.HomeFragment">
</FrameLayout>

Below is my Gradle Console Message

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> C:\Users\Charlene Marie\AndroidStudioProjects\Guest\app\src\main\res\drawable\photothumb.db: Error: The file name must end with .xml or .png

just check if there are weird directory names under in /app/src/main/res/

🦒 $ ls drawable mipmap-hdpi drawable-hdpi mipmap-mdpi drawable-ldpi mipmap-xhdpi drawable-mdpi mipmap-xxhdpi drawable-xhdpi mipmap-xxxhdpi drawable-xxhdpi raw drawable-xxxhdpi rawwhilemusic.mp3 winner.mp3 <- (after deleting this directory no error) layout values mipmap-anydpi-v26

This happened to me when somehow (I have no idea how) one of my asset files got ended up in

.../app/src/main/res/assets/model.tflite

When it should have been at

.../app/src/main/assets/model.tflite

Moving it back fixed the problem.

I had a similar problem after I converted .png icons to .webp format. The file was created in the xxhdpi folder and not used. I didn't remember creating or using photothumbs.db in any of my app's xml and java files. The error was cleared after simply deleting the photothumbs.db file. Create a backup copy of the file anyway for safety before deleting it.

Just change your image file extension from something(like ico etc) to png. It will work.

Remove photothumb.db file from drawable to asset directory. If asset directory is not there then right click on main > New > directory > assets and then create.Place your db file there and you are good to go.

Android accepts only .png, .jpg, .gif and .xml files as drawable resources. If you have file .db file then put that file in assets folder.
