Error:java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: 
    java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
Failed to execute aapt

Solution 1

Go to your gradle.properties write the below code and Sync your project

android.enableAapt2=false

Solution 2

Is your username in OS cyrillic? If so - you need to change the .gradle resource folder in settings to path which does not contain cyrillic symbols. In ->Settings-> Build, Execution -> Gradle change Service directory path to "C:/Users/Public/.gradle"

I also have a non-English character in my path and have the same problem. When I tried your suggestion, I get many errors, such as error: resource android:attr/fontStyle not found. Upon examination I see that the .gradle directory is over 900MB. I cannot add the suggested row to gradle.properties because I don't such that file in one of my projects. There's another called settings.gradle but adding the row there gives other errors.

If you can't find gradle.properties in your project, just create it as an empty file in the project's top level directory and add the setting to it.

Process 'command 'C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\26.0.2\aa‌​pt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1 after applying the above method. Any guess?
