android studio - package rename returns error

Question

I changed my project package name using refactor option. Renaming was successful but when i compiled it, it returned the following error

Error:Execution failed for task ':compilePlayDebugAidl'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk\\build-tools\\23.0.1\\aidl.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

How can i solve it?

PS: I have also changed the applicationID in build.gradle

Answer 1

I had the same error some time ago. Try the following:

• Build --> Clean Project
• Build --> Rebuild Project

Try to undo your changes and keep trying to compile it. If your project compiles at a specific point, make sure to let us know!

Cheers!
