当我用高清png图像替换低质量png图像时，在android中生成失败错误

Question

I am new to android. I am getting this strange error that I was using a low quality png image as background for startup screen but Now I got HD Image of the same and replaced that low quality image with HD image. But I am getting this strange build error.

Error:Error: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Users\Mubashir.gul\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\21.1.2\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 42
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> C:\Users\Mubashir.gul\AndroidStudioProjects\Highrise\app\src\main\res\mipmap-mdpi\logo.png: Error: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Users\Mubashir.gul\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\21.1.2\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 42

Even if I dont use that image in any of the activities and I just place that image into my project folder like drawable it results in the above error.

Answer 1

Try using the latest version of the build tools . you will get it from sdk manager. Give it a try and let me know the progress. You are facing similar problem like this .

If you are using images for setting background image in activity then it is recommended that image should be from drawable folder. Mipmap is used only for Icons. So try using it from drawables than mipmap . I hope it helps.
