错误：文件名必须以 .xml 或 .png 结尾

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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