After solving a JDK zero value error, now I'm facing this one. I did a little research, but it seems I can't get to the point. Here is the log error:

I'm really confused about what it can be, I read and can't get to the error:
My app:gradle is this:

Solution 1 - Android
IF you're using Gradle Plugin 2.0, you need to make changes in your gradle:
// Gradle Plugin 2.0+
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
If you are using Gradle 1.5 you’ll use instead of previus:
// Gradle Plugin 1.5
android {
defaultConfig {
// Stops the Gradle plugin's automatic rasterization of vectors
generatedDensities = []
}
// Flag to tell aapt to keep the attribute ids around
// This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin
aaptOptions {
additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}
}
Android Support Library Ref.: Support Vector Drawables and Animated Vector Drawables.
Also update Android Support dependencies from
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.4.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.0'
as you're already using build-tools in version of 24.0.2.
Solution 2 - Android
If any of the other solutions does not work, you can add this line in your Activity
static {
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
and of course, update your gradle and appcompat to the latest versions. This worked in my case.
Solution 3 - Android
None of these worked for me. But this did:
Change
android:src="@drawable/your_drawable"
to
app:srcCompat="@drawable/your_drawable"
Solution 4 - Android
I ran into this issue in Xamarin.Android with Xamarin.Android.Support.Design 24.0.2. Here is how I solved it:
Added the following line to my Application class OnCreate:
AppCompatDelegate.CompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled = true;
Replaced:
var upArrow = ContextCompat.GetDrawable(this, Resource.Drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material);
With:
var upArrow = ResourcesCompat.GetDrawable(Resources, Resource.Drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material, null);
Solution 5 - Android
Since this page is the first result of google android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable/, I want to share that this exception might caused by your foo.xml contains improper code.
e.g. foo.xml:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape>
<size android:height="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal" />
<corners android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#000000"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This xml contains <size android:height="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal" /> which compiled successfully but throws exception at Runtime, vary in different app.
Solution 6 - Android
use like this in your Activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
static {
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
...
}
and this in your build.gradle :
android {
...
defaultConfig {
....
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
and in your xml:
app:srcCompat="@drawable/your_icon"
Solution 7 - Android
For me the issue was while running the app on Kitkat version I got this runtime crash.
Issue:
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
//Change this to true to enable multidex support for Kitkat
multiDexEnabled true
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
Solution: //comment the line of vector support
android {
//Change this to true to enable multidex support for Kitkat
multiDexEnabled true
//vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
Solution 8 - Android
Ok, i just solved my problem, the problem was my gradle outdated and my sdk , so if anyone is running with this problem just do this steps
1.- Make sure your libs are updated as piotrek1543 says above 2.- Update your sdk if is necesary 3.- Update your gradle files (VERY IMPORTANT) just go to the project gradle and add this
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
then go to your app project > app > graddle > graddlewrapper.properties and add
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
4.- change your compile compileSdkVersion to 24 and your buildToolsVersion "24.0.2" (MAKE SURE YOUR DEPENDENCES ARE UP TO DATE WITH THE SDK)
Have fun
Solution 9 - Android
I have tried all solutions mentioned above. Nothing worked for me. The only thing worked for me is very simple is to update all support libraries to latest version as this bug has been fixed in it. So i simple did the below thing in gradle file; updated SDK and support to 25.
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25"
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 25
}
}
In dependencies
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.1.0'
Solution 10 - Android
Not specifically related to your question, but maybe can solve this problem for all that find themselves here while searching for that error.
For me was the problem with SVG file that I have imported into my project. One of the paths in XML has empty pathData and that was causing the crash on some devices like Pixel XL, Samsung Galaxy S7,...
So double check imported XML for an image if you are using SVG as your image source.
Solution 11 - Android
I had this problem.
In your Application class, in the onCreate() method, add:
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
... and also use AppCompatImageView instead of ImageView.
Ex : BaseApplication.class :
public class BaseApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
//Your other code here...
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
}
XML :
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="@+id/yourIvId"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Solution 12 - Android
In my case, the issue was about using vector drawable. The spec of the test device was Huawei EVA-L19, Android: Marshmallow
Using srcCompat instead of src resolved my problem.
Solution 13 - Android
In my case, the problem was wrong super-type. I added image view dynamically, and used ImageView instead of AppCompatImageView. Choosing the right super class solved the issue.
Solution 14 - Android
I tried all the answers above but no success because of clarity most of the time.
Just do this:
- In the launch_background.xml file, replace mipmap with drawable
- Copy the icon image that should be your app icon and paste it in the drawable folder
At the end the launch_background.xml file should look like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@color/blue" />
<!-- You can insert your own image assets here -->
<item>
<bitmap android:gravity="center" android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
</item>
</layer-list>
Solution 15 - Android
Changing the kotlin-stdlib dependency from:
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.2.0"
to
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.0"
fixed the error.
Solution 16 - Android
in my case the XML contained android:endX that supports from 24 and up.
Solution 17 - Android
If you are using ?attr inside your drawable, this could be the reason of error.
consider replacing it with Vector Drawable so it can be used in all android versions:
Replace
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="?attr/navigationIconColor" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
With:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="37dp"
android:height="5dp"
android:viewportWidth="37"
android:viewportHeight="5">
<path
android:pathData="M2.5,0h32C35.9,0 37,1.1 37,2.5l0,0C37,3.9 35.9,5 34.5,5h-32C1.1,5 0,3.9 0,2.5l0,0C0,1.1 1.1,0 2.5,0z"
android:fillColor="?attr/navigationIconColor"/>
</vector>
Solution 18 - Android
The above methods didn’t work for me. I solved it by adding image of every size and used android:src as well it worked. See the answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/64537207/11669081
