Android studio: Error Code: -1073741819 - Using ABS, ViewPagerIndicator,FacebookSDK and cannot build project

Question

So here is the run down: I am importing an existing project from Eclipse into Android Studio by hand. I keep getting this error which prevents me from building my project and my R file is also not generated:

The error ( Full stacktrace is at the end of this post )

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command: C:\android-sdk\build-tools\19.0.1\aapt.exe package -f --no-crunch -I C:\android-sdk\platforms\android-19\android.jar -M C:\Users\MyUserName\workspace Eclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\manifests\debug\AndroidManifest.xml -S C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\res\all\debug -A C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceE clipse\CrazyApp\app\build\assets\debug -m -J C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\source\r\debug -F C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\bui ld\libs\app-debug.ap_ --debug-mode --custom-package com.CrazyApp --output-text-symbols C:\Users\MyUserName\workspaceEclipse\CrazyApp\app\build\symbols\debug Error Code: -1073741819

my gradle files and stuff: I have an android project with ActionBarSherlock and ViewPagerIndicator, along with the Facebook SDK. I am referencing the ViewPagerIndicator and Facebook libraries externally like so:

hierarchy

Then I am using this app/gradle.build file to install the Actionbarsherlock and compile the libraries:

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 17
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.0.30'
    compile 'com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0@aar'
    compile project(':libraries:facebook')
    compile project(':libraries:ViewPagerIndicator')
}

enter image description here

This is my settings.gradle file:

include ':app', ':libraries:facebook', ':libraries:ViewPagerIndicator'

This is my libraries' gradle files:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android-library'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18+'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 17
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
        }
    }
}

I tried looking everywhere for such an error in my xml's and there was nothing wrong. Is there a way to tell android studio to do an extensive search to show where the error is? — Georgi Angelov, Feb 13 '14 at 00:31
If it's not showing it to you in syntax highlighting, I'm not sure what else you could do to have it help you out. in that SO question it links to a bug where there was a report of the same failure in a non-menu resource, so it could be something else that's wrong. If you've changed something recently to cause this to happen, you should definitely look through your recent history to see what changed. — Scott Barta, Feb 13 '14 at 01:12

Had the same error (at least according to error code):

Error:Execution failed for task :app:processSandboxAllChecksOffDebugResources'. com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command: ....... ....... ....... android\app\build\intermediates\symbols\sandboxAllChecksOff\debug Error Code: -1073741819

The problem was due to an extra file in my resource folder (res/drawable-xxhdpi). I occasionally put zip file there.

To fix the problem I had to:

Remove invalid file (zip file in my case, can be something different in yours)
Clean project

Android studio: Error Code: -1073741819 - Using ABS, ViewPagerIndicator,FacebookSDK and cannot build project
