Android Studio Some file crunching failed, see logs for details

Question

I have a problem with 9 patch images.

There are around 30 9 patch images in my res folder. On earlier versions of Android Studio, errors told me exactly which one of the images was bad, but on newer versions I just get error

Error:Execution failed for task
 ':app:mergePhotoKeyboardThemeChangerDebugResources'.
 
Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Some file crunching failed, see logs for details

Is there an option for that in Android Studio settings? It is a lot of work to check images one by one and see which one is bad.

Only error I am getting is the error above in the question. Earlier I was getting errors with exact location such as "... file test.9.png ... at top edge pixel no 15..." — filipst, Mar 14 '17 at 15:17
Run with `--stacktrace --info` flags. Hopefully this will log something. — azizbekian, Mar 14 '17 at 15:18
What is the complete path of your res folder? Sometimes this error appears when the path is too long. — Jordan, Mar 14 '17 at 15:24
It is quite long. But with flag --debug I get detailed error. "ERRORL 9-patch image test.9.png malformed. No marked region found along edge. Found along top edge." — filipst, Mar 14 '17 at 15:27
After updating to Android Studio 2.3.1 flat "--debug" isn't showing the error any more... — filipst, Apr 25 '17 at 07:07

Some times the error will come with jpg images, try to convert the jpg images to png images. convert online from online png converter.

No, it is 9.png image. At the moment I made it wrong on purpose just to try to see error. – filipst Mar 14 '17 at 15:15
I think this is the problem with adt. you can instead rename the *.9.png to *.png – Ramesh R Mar 15 '17 at 11:52
But I need those images to be 9 patch png. I have found the solution already thank you. – filipst Mar 15 '17 at 12:23
@filipst what's your solution? – Néstor Jun 05 '17 at 17:02
@Néstor I don't have a solution at the moment. Simple "--debug" was doing the job, but it isn't any more. – filipst Jun 06 '17 at 07:25
in my case I change a .jpg images to .png from the Window's explorer and put in my app. I just paste the jpg's image without conversion – benoffi7 Jul 11 '17 at 21:26

Suggestion#1:

Relocate your project and the build will succeed.

Suggestion#2:

Sometimes .png images are corrupted. you need to replace in drawable

Suggestion#3: change build directory

For example:

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

Rebuild and happy coding.

Last Suggestion Add

aaptOptions {
    cruncherEnabled = false
}

in your gradle(app) file in android{ } scope

it will work fine
