Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources' even with latest build tools

Question

I am getting this error when I try to run my project. I have installed the latest build tools- 23.0.3 but still the error persists. How do I fix this?

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

  com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Users\Ishmita\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\23.0.3\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

• Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Issue SOLVED by making library and app build.gradle same ... compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion.

library build.gradle and

android {      compileSdkVersion 25     buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"     .....     ..... } 

app build.gradle

android {      compileSdkVersion 25     buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"     .....     ..... }
