Try to modify 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3' to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2' with your project gradle, and rebuild your project. There will be a more specific message. I think there are some log print bug exist in 2.2.3 release of gradle. — Dot1q84

Try code on your module build.gradle:

android {
// ...
aaptOptions.cruncherEnabled = false
aaptOptions.useNewCruncher = false
// ...
}

It means Android studio DO NOT check PNG strictly.

Thanks. Instead of switching jpg 2 png by renaming (works for web with a charm) I needed to properly convert it.

I got the same issue after I added 9 patch image in my project. Removing that image solved my problem.

I think problem is when we add .9 files and .png file with same name.Although removing .9 file in this case worked for me.

Try to check that, if you use a 9-patch image, it is in correct format (with black pixel on the edge and they mustn't touch the pixel of your image). I resolved this problem with changing a 9-patch image that is malformed. In my case the image touched the black pixel of 9-patch e android studio showed that error.

I got this error when I added an image I had saved in gimp as 'filename.9.png' (which I thought was enough to produce a 9-patch image) to the drawable folder. To solve the issue I just opened the image in the Draw 9-patch tool and moved one of the bounds around - it didn't seem to matter whether I moved it back to the same spot, just the act of moving the bounds seems to correct the issue.

It wasn't a question, it's a resolution to the issue.

Some times I also get this error

Rebuilding the entire project before running (Build > Rebuild Project) it doesn't show up anymore.

You can try this.

I faced the same issue. I was using *.png files and the gradle Build kept on failing, despite multiple Rebuild-projects. Surprisingly, the moment I changed the file names from *.png to *.jpg, it worked!

After searching and using lots of suggestions i got a solution for this:

1)I am using nine patch images in my project and android studio doesn't accept abc.9.png image so rename this name to abc.png

2)When i am convert my images to nine patch images one image can't convert properly it shows "Bad Patches" i remove this image and recreate and i solved my problem, this problem is comes when i convert my project eclipse to android studio

3) put this in your gradle aaptOptions.setProperty("cruncherEnabled", false)

Thanks

Check your resources, specially the file names. It sucks when android studio does not point out the real reason. It solved my issue.

In my case I had one 9-patch resource in every screen density drawable folder. Black borders in every resource didn't match eachother so I stretched them up to the very corner, so they all matched.

This is the result:

And then it worked!

Just check Your String which contains another type of

 ( ' )colon ex/. we need ( ' )these but we implement like (’)these in app.

or any other string font.
