Gradle build failed in Android Studio

Question

I am using Android Studio on Ubuntu. I started Android Studio, created a "New Project" and started it with Shift+F10. It threw the following error:

/home/laptop/AndroidStudioProjects/TestIt420/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/appcompat-v7/22.0.0/res/drawable-mdpi-v4/abc_btn_radio_to_on_mtrl_000.png
Error:Error: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/home/laptop/Android/Sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 127
:app:mergeDebugResources FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
Information:BUILD FAILED

Also it showed me a PNG file with a circle an a transparent background with file name: abc_btn_radio_to_on_mtrl_000.png

After I just tried running the app again I now have 2 errors instead of one:

/home/laptop/AndroidStudioProjects/TestIt420/app/build/intermediates/explo     ded-aar/com.android.support/appcompat-v7/22.0.0/res/drawable-hdpi-     v4/abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha.png

Can you maybe help me in resolving the issue?

Answer 1

You have to install These Packages to Solve this Error Because Android SDK Still not working on UBUNTU 64 Bit.

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
sudo apt-get install lib32z1

Answer 2

Android has not build SDK for ubuntu 64-bit yet, and from your error I can say you are using 32-bit SDK on 64-bit OS.

You need to install 32-bit libraries to run android SDK in ubuntu.

Start terminal and install following packages.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

and

Right click on the .../AndroidSDK/sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/aapt file, open it's Properties and make sure you have checked Allow executing file as a program in the Permissions tab.
