Just open this(app\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\drawable-mdpi-v4\abc_ic_star_black_48dp.png) file directory and delete it.
Clean and Re-build your project.

Hope this will help you.

@cricket_007 Yes we can edit build folder...The logic behind this is when you clean or rebuild your project then gradle build system makes new files every time. – Vishal Chauhan Nov 25 '16 at 06:53
Right, it makes the files everytime. That was my point. This resource is being generated and cannot be removed via a clean because it is a `file with a user-mapped section open` – OneCricketeer Nov 25 '16 at 06:55
follow your steps but now file change with different names – Shailesh Bandil Nov 25 '16 at 07:58
post your logcat and build.gradle – Vishal Chauhan Nov 25 '16 at 08:17

The Android Gradle plugin version 2.2.2 has an issue.

To resolve this issue you need to change your gradle plugin version in project setting:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
