Yes. It is also showing heap size issue. But I have already allocated maximux heap size. — Apurv Thakkar

it is pretty much impossible to debug this with just his much info buddy, i thinki reddit/quora might be more helpful than stack, you wont be allowed to have discussions here — Kushan
– Kushan, Commented Aug 22, 2019 at 10:11
Thanks Kushan.I found a solution after adding "org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m" in gradle.properties — Apurv Thakkar
– Apurv Thakkar, Commented Aug 22, 2019 at 10:16
This is just the start of the stack trace. You need to scroll down to where it says "Caused by:" and search on what follows. In my case it was a different cause and solution, which I finally found here: stackoverflow.com/a/47132142/989468 — Chiwda

This can be solved by increasing the amount of JVM memory available to Gradle.

Add (or edit) the following line in the gradle.properties file:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m

I have no idea what this does but it worked, can you add some info?

PoutchiPatch Over a year ago

org.gradle.jvmargs represent the arguments that will be passed to the Java virtual machine used during build time. The Xmx option with a number (in this very special syntax) is commonly used to set the maximum size of the heap in megabytes, while Xms is used to set the minimal one.

for more guidance to this problem, scroll to the bottom of the stack trace, mine is

Yaday. Thanks for your reply. The problem was the latest unstable version of the Android Gradle build tool. I downgraded to the latest stable version and the problem's gone.

In my case, I enabled multidex

Open [project_folder]/app/build.gradle and add following lines.

defaultConfig {
    ...

    multiDexEnabled true
}

and

dependencies {
    ...

    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:2.0.1'
}

I already had multidex enabled but the version was too old so upgraded and it fixed the issue:

// Old version
implementation "com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3"

// New version
def multidex_version = "2.0.1"
implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:$multidex_version"

build.gradle

defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

and yet theses stuff did not fix my problem, until I increase the compileSdkVersion from 27 to 28, it worked for me.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28

    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'

    lintOptions {

I got an stacktrace similar to yours only when building to Lollipop or Marshmallow, and the solution was to disable Advanved profiling.

Find it here:

Run -> Edit Configurations -> Profiling -> Enable advanced profiling

search your code you must be referring to color in color.xml in an xml drawable. go and give hex code instead of referencing....

Example: in drawable.xml you must have called

android:fillColor="@color/blue"

change it to android:fillColor="#ffaacc" hope it solve your problem...

I also have the same issue , and you can add this

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m on your Gradle.properties

but in my case I change like this :

from : org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

to: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

In right side of android studio click gradle -> app -> build -> assemble. then android studio will start building, and print you a proper message of the issue.

Solution for:

Caused by 4: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.AaptException: Dependent features configured but no package ID was set.

All feature modules have to apply the library plugin and NOT the application plugin.

build.gradle (:androidApp:feature_A)

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

It all depends on the stacktrace of each one. Cause 1 WorkExecutionException may be the consequence of other causes. So I suggest reading the full stacktrace from the last cause printed towards the first cause. So if we solve the last cause, it is very likely that we will have fixed the chain of causes from the last to the first.

I attach an example of my stacktrace where the original or concrete problem was in the last cause:

Caused by: org.gradle.workers.internal.DefaultWorkerExecutor$WorkExecutionException: A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.res.LinkApplicationAndroidResourcesTask$TaskAction

Caused by: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2InternalException: AAPT2 aapt2-4.2.0-alpha16-6840111-linux Daemon #0: Unexpected error during link, attempting to stop daemon.

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Unable to make AAPT link command.

just add

android.enableJetifier=true

to the gradle.properties .

actually this happens mostly when you mess up with androidx and support libraries, some dependencies are currently not fully supporting androidX. so you have to enable jetfier.

found the solution.

add this code to your build.gradle,

    def multidex_version = "2.0.1"
    implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:$multidex_version'
}

then enable the multidex to true

 defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 15 
        targetSdkVersion 28
        multiDexEnabled true

To be completely clear: after enabling multiDex, the error message will tell you exactly which file and line contains the error. Once fixed you can set multiDexEnabled back to false

If you've tried all the solutions above and still doesn't resolve your issue.

This might not seemed related, but here's my take on it.

Try removing this from your Gradle dependency, I've spend 2 hours of my time because of this roadblock.

implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:adapter-rxjava2:2.3.0"

In my case the issue was related to View Binding. It couldn't generate binding classes due to an invalid xml layout file. In the file I had a Switch with an id switch, which is a Java keyword. Renaming the Switch id resolved the issue.

This is the snapshot of the issue that I was having.

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugJavaResource'.

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.MergeJavaResWorkAction 2 files found with path 'META-INF/gradle/incremental.annotation.processors' from inputs

This indicated that there were files causing a conflict during the merging process.

To resolve this issue I added this line of code on the packagingOptions.

android {
    ....

      packagingOptions {
        resources {
           excludes += '/META-INF/{AL2.0,LGPL2.1}'
            exclude 'META-INF/gradle/incremental.annotation.processors'
