Question

I just import project from eclipse to studio, it build successfully but when i am trying to run it on Mobile it shows me error of

   FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'. >  
 com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run   command:  E:\Android\SDK\build-tools\19.1.0\dx.bat --dex --output

I don't understand i not even run it so how it creates .apk over there? How i get rid of that error. I do search i found that i do not have any code in app.iml file, having syntax like option name="APK_PATH" value="/build/outputs/.." If anyone know how i get rid of that error please help me out.

Clean and rebuild project. Also, you should update your build tools, support library, etc from the SDK Manager.
