Question

currently I am using Android Studio 2.1 when I run my App it shows me some error in Message Gradle Build saying the following

I tried cleaning and rebuilding it but it didn't work. The answer for this question didn't work also. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Updated: Here is the log output

Reference

Answer 2

All problem was a crashed png image in one of my drawable folders. I mean the images which we sometime face in windows photo viewer, like the one below:

I dropped the image from the folder and all problem got solved.

Answer 3

Actually, image file something wrong. Go to ( drawable ) and remove image or replace with new image.This will solve problem.

In addition, you can put method in ( build.gradle ), but This will not solve the problem but good way to catch up what was wrong.

In build.gradle , section android {} , insert (cruncherEnagle = false)apptOptions .

Answer 4

Try running gradle from command line:

gradle clean build --debug

And post your log afterwards.

Answer 5

Just check this link - Android Studio - mergeDebugResources exception and libpng error: Not a PNG file Error Showing In Android Studio

You can try this command as well sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 on the console if you are working on a linux machine, then restart android studio and run your project

Answer 6

For me, it was a corrupted PNG file. Go to your res folder and try to open every images.

Answer 7

I was facing the same issue checked all the related answer but my problem was not solved. I added a new folder drawable to add icons in my app. So after deleting that folder my problem was resolved. Also, clean the Gradle your problem will be resolved.

cd android && gradlew clean
cd .. && react-native run-android

Also, there may be some data which is corrupted like images you have added, try to remove those images may it work.

Answer 8

compress the project file and delete prjct. and extract it and open

Answer 9

In my res folder I created a 9PNG file. After deleting this file everthing is working fine.

Answer 10

1. Browse Through Your Project Manifest and Resource Files to see if there is an error in the Images you are using. (I was missing the roundLauncherIcon).
2. Check if all the images that you are using are actually existing.

Answer 11

For me, I was getting this error because the full path to the folder was longer than allowed by Windows. I moved my build to a shallower path and this error went away.

Answer 12

On react native

When you're inside your project directory try using :

$ cd android && gradlew clean

$ cd .. && react-native run-android

Answer 13

I have the same error too. But it has fixed now.

The main problem is some Gradle files are corrupted. I have deleted entire .gradle file and run the project again. This time it got worked!.

When I run after deleting .gradle file, it automatically repaired the Gradle files as shown below:

LOG IN DEBUG CONSOLE:

This seems like the library is partially migrated. Jetifier will try to rewrite the library anyway.

Answer 14

就我而言，我已经删除了 res 文件夹中的所有 PNG 文件，然后我重新安装了它，它对我有用

Answer 15

I hope this is helpful to someone.

I had the same error and tried the code sample below as well as deleting my .grade, to deleting my .build and .idea which didn't work.

aaptOptions {  
    cruncherEnabled = false  
}  

I later discovered what was causing the error.

If the error wasn't caused by changing an image file extension manually. I suggest to check your strings or array.xml and make sure you aren't using a single quote without having backslash before the single quote.

Fix:

Côte d\'Ivoire

Answer 16

I tried everything above mentioned but couldn't find anything. Then I backed up my code and reverted to last runnable commit, after that i copy/pasted my code back to original piece by piece and added the files again and i found out the problem. I did <item>Driver's License</item> which i changed to <item>Driver\'s License</item> inside string array in strings.xml file.
