I updated my machine to AS 2.2 and created a new project. I didn't get any error you cited. Try to move the project to a shorter path and update your Android SDK. — adjuremods, Sep 21 '16 at 09:07

From what I understood, Failed to crunch file means studio can't process the file. This error usually occurs when you hit Maximum File Path Length Limitation(240 characters) of Windows OS.

I would suggest moving your project into upper directory (like D:\barcode-reader).

thanks it solve the problem by just renaming current directory but i don't understand why they put limit. – yasiriqbal776 Oct 09 '16 at 11:58
I think this limit was introduced in DOS days... When you renamed the current directory say from "barcode-reader" to "br" number of character in the file path reduces. In your case, I have to assume,renaming the current directory reduced the path to less than 240 characters.. – Fabin Paul Oct 10 '16 at 06:46

Great! Solved my problem, I don't understand why is there still 240 chars limit. – Thomas Orlita Nov 27 '16 at 17:48
Seems strange that we still have this limit. Seems like something that should have gone away circa Windows 2000... – Kip Mar 14 '18 at 19:49

The problem is indeed the long file path. However, instead of moving your project, you could change the build directory for your project. This should solve the issue. In your root build.gradle add:

allprojects {
    buildDir = "C:/tmp/${rootProject.name}/${project.name}"
    repositories {
       ...
    }
}

Thank you. This seems to be a better solution. – Matthew Beck Jan 12 '17 at 20:02
This definitely seems like a better approach but when building the SDK seems to complain about not finding certain files for its style (specifically values-v23.xml). I'm working on a Cocos2d-x project at the moment and the error I get is: `Error:(4) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'. Error:(34) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.` – batterj2 Feb 08 '17 at 09:55
Can't edit my own comment... The solution to my problem was to up the target and compile SDK to version 23 on all of the sub projects. Upping the build tools version to 23.0.2 also helped. – batterj2 Feb 08 '17 at 10:57

Just reduce your file path length, Reduce to maximum 240 characters.

try by adding like this ..

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:9.4.0'

And in Android Studio 2.2 it will automatically add the dependence just select it from 'Assistant' then select service that you want in project and Connect to Firebase
