Answer 1

It is a known issue in 3.2 and 3.3 https://issuetracker.google.com/u/0/issues/117486770#comment17

add to your app gradle:

aaptOptions.cruncherEnabled = false aaptOptions.useNewCruncher = false

This allows build to go past this error.

Answer 2

If you have that drawable file in Drawable folder then I think its a cache issue.Go to File->Invalidate Cache & Restart . It will restart the android studio. try to build now.
