tl;dr steps to reproduce:

Create a fresh Android project with the Canary 6 Android Studio and run it against a Nexus 4 AVD at API level 16 (info below). A ResourceNotFoundException will be thrown (stack trace below). Running against a Nexus 5 AVD at API level 25 will run successfully with the expected results.

Gory details

I started writing an Android Kotlin app from scratch after going through all the Kotlin koans and going through the book, _Kotlin for Android Developers_. Initially I was using Android Studio 3.0 Canary 5 and I was running against a Nexus 4 AVD at API level 16. Things had been going smoothly and then I upgraded to Canary 6, which in turn meant that I needed to upgrade the Gradle plugin to 3.0.0-alpha6.

After these upgrades, I started seeing a ResourceNotFoundException when calling super.onCreate() in the sole Activity in the project. I was fairly certain that I had tested the current version and it had run fine, but to make sure I did a few "git checkouts' to earlier versions and got the same result. I then tried doing a "Clean Project' (no luck) and an "Invalidate Cache and Restart" (no luck). I then tried a git clone into a fresh directory, but again no luck.

I tried running under the debugger but did not have the source for the class in which the resource id was being determined and for some reason could not download it. I looked in the R.java file for the resource id and it was assigned to `abc_vector_test` in `public static final class drawable`.

I looked for a way to downgrade to Canary 5 but didn't find anything so then I tried running under Android Studio 2.3.3 but gave up because I kept needing to fix one problem or another and it felt like it was going to be more work than I wanted to put into it.

I then tried running on a Nexus 5 AVD at API level 25 and it did not throw any exceptions and ran successfully. I then went back to the Nexus 4 AVD at API 16 and it crashed as before.

I then created a fresh Android project that included Kotlin support and when I ran that against the API 16 AVD it crashed with a ResourceNotFoundException (but a different resource id). When I run this same project against a Nexus 5 AVD at API 25 it runs as expected.
