String too large to encode using UTF-8 written instead as 'STRING_TOO_LARGE'

Question

Java compiler error: string too large to encode using UTF-8 written instead as 'STRING_TOO_LARGE'.

I want to note, that there I have no long string and no one vector drawable that bigger than 32kb (biggest is 3.7kb).

Gradle 3.2.0, build tool 28.0.3

What can take a problem?

Answer 1

Run this in your terminal

./gradlew cleanBuildCache 

(in my case I need to do this several times until it helps)

Answer 2

Check your vector drawables there may be a big path. I came across same issue and i solved it by deleting big vector drawable it.
