have you placed the png file on the res/drawable or you addressing the full path to the file? — Itzik Samara, Jan 02 '16 at 07:34
share the code where you are referencing this drawable `channel9.png`. Are u referencing it as `R.drawable.channel9` or some other way. If another way, reference it using the id in R. — Viral Patel, Jan 02 '16 at 09:32

If you are running the Win 7, then check the following points and make it work

Check 1 : This is because generated build file path exceeds 260 characters which windows will not support. Make sure your project path is not too long. Refer From Microsoft , From Stackoverflow

Check 2 : Make sure the ".png" file you are using is actually a PNG file, if not convert it to ".png" file. Because sometimes the actual file format may be ".jpg" or ".psd" and by mistake you renamed it as .png . Double check the extension of the png file you used.

Check 3 : Try renaming your file.

Check 4 : Your image named "channel9.png" , try to rename this image to something like "channel_nine.png", because it ends with "9.png" which may be misunderstood as 9 patch image. Normal PNG File : *.png , 9-Patch File : *.9.png

Check 5 : Adjust your build.gradle to use buildToolsVersion "22.0.0" or "22.0.1"

Check 6 : If you do Check 5 - Try to change all your dependencies to point 22.0.x

Check 7 : Clean your Project.

Check 8 : Rebuild your Project.

Hope this helps you in solving the error.
