任务'：app：mergeDebugResources'的执行失败。 错误：无效的维数

Question

Please Help, Cant figure out how to fix this problem I'm having. These are all the information I could give to you: my activity_main.xml :

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

and dimen.xml :

<dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">activityhorizontalmargin</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">activityverticalmargin</dimen>

Error log :

Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.

Answer 1

You have incorrect values in dimen.xml :

<dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">activityhorizontalmargin</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">activityverticalmargin</dimen>

it should be something like this:

<dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">10dp</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">10dp</dimen>

Please be noted that dimen is the abbreviation of dimension .

More details about it can be read at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources#Dimension

Answer 2

您是否尝试在gradle.properties文件中去除aapt2

:android.enableAapt2=false
