Android studio: Error Code: -1073741819 - Using ABS, ViewPagerIndicator,FacebookSDK and cannot build project

Question

So here is the run down: I am importing an existing project from Eclipse into Android Studio by hand. I keep getting this error which prevents me from building my project and my R file is also not generated:

The error ( Full stacktrace is at the end of this post )

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

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

com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command: C:\android-sdk\build-tools\19.0.1\aapt.exe package -f --no-crunch -I C:\android-sdk\platforms\android-19\android.jar -M C:\Users\MyUserName\workspace Eclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\manifests\debug\AndroidManifest.xml -S C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\res\all\debug -A C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceE clipse\CrazyApp\app\build\assets\debug -m -J C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\source\r\debug -F C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\bui ld\libs\app-debug.ap_ --debug-mode --custom-package com.CrazyApp --output-text-symbols C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\symbols\debug Error Code: -1073741819

my gradle files and stuff: I have an android project with ActionBarSherlock and ViewPagerIndicator, along with the Facebook SDK. I am referencing the ViewPagerIndicator and Facebook libraries externally like so:

Then I am using this app/gradle.build file to install the Actionbarsherlock and compile the libraries:

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 17
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.0.30'
    compile 'com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0@aar'
    compile project(':libraries:facebook')
    compile project(':libraries:ViewPagerIndicator')
}

This is my settings.gradle file:

include ':app', ':libraries:facebook', ':libraries:ViewPagerIndicator'

This is my libraries' gradle files:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android-library'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18+'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 17
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Had the same error (at least according to error code):

Error:Execution failed for task :app:processSandboxAllChecksOffDebugResources'. com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command: ....... ....... ....... android\app\build\intermediates\symbols\sandboxAllChecksOff\debug Error Code: -1073741819

The problem was due to an extra file in my resource folder (res/drawable-xxhdpi). I occasionally put zip file there.

To fix the problem I had to:

1. Remove invalid file (zip file in my case, can be something different in yours)
2. Clean project
