Answer 1

Make sure the root directory contains the AndroidManifest.xml file. Also, the root directory must contain either the .project and .classpath files or the res/ and src/ directories.

To reload a project do Import as a Project:

1. Start Android Studio and close any open Android Studio projects.

2. From the Android Studio menu click File > New > Import Project.

   • Alternatively, from the Welcome screen, click Import project.

3. Select the project folder with the AndroidManifest.xml file and click Ok.

See section Import as a Project. After project imported

Answer 2

I have the same issue but with even something more strange: the missing locale resource is en_NL which should never exist and I have no idea where this is coming from. The language settings are en_GB and en_US. In the Android Studio 3.0 the resources.asrc is present and seems OK.

Update: I managed to get rid of this error. The project I'm working on is a Cordova project.

I opened the generated .apk file in Studio. That caused to error to appear.

When opening .../platforms/android in Studio everything works fine. Perhaps not related: I also went back to version 2.3.3 of Studio. I'll keep you updated for this last point.

Update: Studio 3.0 works also.
