how to fix eror app\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\values-v24\values-v24.xml

Question

I get an error when I build a project.

Error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt
C:\Users\MR Maleki\Desktop\WhoIsBetter2\app\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\values-v24\values-v24.xml
Error:(4) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.
Error:(3) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.

Error:(4) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.

Gradle:

  compileSdkVersion GLOBAL_COMPILE_SDK as int
    buildToolsVersion GLOBAL_BUILD_TOOLS

     compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
        //----------------- Android Support Library --------------------------------
        compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$GLOBAL_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION"
        compile "com.android.support:design:$GLOBAL_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION"
        compile "com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:$GLOBAL_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION"
        compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:$GLOBAL_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION"

How should I fix this error? What would you recommend to fix the problem?

Solution 1

This typically occurs when your support library's major version does not match your compile SDK version.

For example, if you are compiling with SDK version 24, you must use version 24.x.x of the support library (and vice-versa).

I got the same problem. When i compiled my old project. This error occur due to sdk version. My project compileSdkVersion 25 and Android studio version is 26.

So you have to change in your gradle:

1) At project level:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0' 

to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'(latest android studio version)

2) At Module level:

compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.2.0'
.......
}

to

compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
....
}

Hope it will help you!

I´ve resolved changing my build.gradle inside android/build.gradle :

old: android: { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.1" ... }

dependencies: { compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1" ... }

to android: { compileSdkVersion 24 buildToolsVersion "24.0.1" ... }

dependencies: { compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.1" ... }
