All was fine until i updated the android studio to Canary 6, When i rebuild or clean or whatever with project it's throw :

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.MergeResources$FileGenerationWorkAction

And this error guide me to my vectors.xml [All of them got this error] .

My Current app level build.gradle :

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "example.project"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 42
        versionName "1.3"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        //multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    buildTypes {
        buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            }
        }
    }
}


dependencies {

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'//<-- can't update to new one
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.7'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:25.3.1'
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.1.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Also when i tried to download com.android.support libraries, The IDE just search for the sdk and just do nothing.

What i have been tried :

  • Clean and Rebuild.

  • Invalidate Caches.

Adding vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true to defaultConfig of build.gradle(Module) worked for me. :)

I had the same issue. There were two ways to fix my case:

  1. Adding vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

  2. In my drawable vector xml files there were links to @color:

    <path
    android:fillColor="@color/white"
    ...

    I replaced with

    <path
    android:fillColor="#fff"
    ...

    and the problem disappeared.

Just add vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true in defaultConfig, it's work fine for me

defaultConfig {
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}

add this to your build.gradle under defaultConfig

vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true .

this will solve your problem.

The issue is with build gradle 3.1.4. Downgrade to 3.1.3 and you should be good to go

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
