Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. react native, currently trying to run on Android

Question

I am trying to run my react native application on Android and when I try

react-native run-android

I get the following error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:

I have already tried cleaning Gradle.

>>cd android
>>./gradlew clean

After that I did npm install which gave me some warnings but no errors.

And then when i did react-native run-android it gave me an error. Could you please suggest what might be causing this to happen.

here is the full log.
