correspondingly in the Gradle Console it is reported:

 AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Resource entry Theme.app already has bag item android:windowBackground.","sources":[{"file":"C:\\...\\src\\main\\res\\values-v14\\styles_app.xml","position":{"startLine":25,"startColumn":4,"startOffset":1049,"endLine":39,"endColumn":10,"endOffset":2401}}],"original":"","tool":"AAPT"}
.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\build-tools\23.0.3\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

what's the problem?

NOTE: the question reported here Android: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources' is with no solution.

Answer 1

I found the solution:

1) eliminate the android:windowBackground duplicate form values-v14\styles_app.xml;

2) as found in different threads, if you use the "actionBarSherlock" library, you should not use appCompact v7, so you need to set the 7.0.0 version of the play-services in build.gradle project, because this is the last version does not contain it.

3)In the project manifest file you must set:

4) the minSdkVersion version, in librarySlidingMenu gradle file, must not be lower than that set in the Sherlocks library Manifest file.
