can you share your android studio version

Is this happening with Studio 3.0?

Note: This worked for me on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (with Android Studio 2.3.3). Seems like an issue with adt-branding module (which should contain the "/idea/AndroidStudioApplicationInfo.xml" resource).

Hi, also happened on Mac Book Pro 15 retina mi-2015
MacOs Sierra 10.12.6
Android Studio 2.3.3
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

Thank you for this feedback. Your feedback helps make sure Android development tools are great! Given your issues has been resolved I am closing this issue.

Maybe this log file will help

BUILD FAILED

I just set my min SDK to 21, and also have multi-dex enabled, and now this started showing up.

In project module settings, I changed JDK location to JDK in system (macOS) and problem disappeared

What is the exact solution to this error?  I am getting this error now, and am confused as to what exactly is causing it.

If you delete the build folder and run again it normally works.
Seems to happen after Gradle sync but not always

Seen in AS Stable 2.2.3

I've also encountered this problem.  I'm using:

AS 2.3 Beta 2 (problem also occured in 2.2.3 stable)
minSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"
com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3
gradle-3.2

I've observed the error mostly occurs when switching branches or changing dependencies/dependency versions.

This issue has been fixed in ag/I6a6ef1a95732118b8e330b64fe4389710a3a2657.

Please use newer gradle plugin 2.3.0-beta2 or, if using 2.2.x, disable new packaging by using the "android.useOldPackaging=true" flag.

clean and rebuild is working

This still happens on 2.3

Still happens:
Android Studio: 2.3
Android gradle plugin: 2.3
Gradle: 3.4.1

More info. `./gradlew --stop`  doesn't help. But next build from CLI works. If I build on Android studio after CLI build, it works for a while. Added stacktrace and log

i fixed it with

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'

in android/app/build.gradle

This issue has been fixed and released. Please try with gradle plugin version 2.3.2 or newer.

For me it is still happening on

Android Studio 3.1.2
Build #AI-173.4720617, built on April 14, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b01 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Mac OS X 10.13.5

Once I disable "Instant Run" and compile again, it goes away.

I am still facing this issue in Android Studio v3.0.1

upgrade to 3.2.1
