Error:Execution failed for task :app:processDebugResources

Question

I'm using Android-Studio.
When i tried to compile the project i got error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> at index 4

build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.myapp.user.myapp"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
compile 'com.parse:parse-android:1.+'
}

Any suggestion please?thanks!

Change:

This: buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

To: buildToolsVersion "21.0.1"

The newer buildTools sometimes have some bugs

yeah..i'm look at this link before: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20737200/execution-failed-appprocessdebugresources-android-studio – Adir Schlezinger Dec 01 '15 at 15:43
Also try to change targetSDK and CompileSDK and if that doesnt work try to remove parse for a moment – Rik Nijdeken Dec 01 '15 at 15:47
hi, i tried to remove 'parse' and still same problem – Adir Schlezinger Dec 01 '15 at 16:06
And this? compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0' To: compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.1.0' – Rik Nijdeken Dec 01 '15 at 16:07
now i got this error: Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. > failed to find target with hash string 'android-21' in: C:\Android\sdk Open Android SDK Manager – Adir Schlezinger Dec 01 '15 at 16:17

I was having this exact same issue today. This is how I fixed it:

Check to see that the latest 23.0.3 build tool was installed. In my case (shown below), I noticed it wasn't installed:

Then, in my app level build.gradle, I changed this:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

to

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

Hopefully this helps anyone encountering this issue recently.
