My build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 'android-L'
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.test.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 'L'
        targetSdkVersion 'L'
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    // You must install or update the Support Repository through the SDK manager to use this dependency.
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0-rc1'
    compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:21.0.0-rc1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.0-rc1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:21.0.0-rc1'

    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.2.08"
}

I installed everything in Extras, Android L, Android 4.4W and Android 4.4.2 on SDK Manager (everything is up to date)

Tried adding compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0-rc1' , Rebuild Project, still doesn't work

Thank's to this post ! The path of the files causing the problem was bigger than 260 characters and can't work on a NTFS filesystem (Sorry, i forgot to mention that i use Windows 7)

You can opt this this tool http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/visual-subst.html to shorten the path and overcome the mergeDebugResource Exception
