I have the lastest version of android studio as of today

I had this issue yesterday. with no clue what to do. So google it. But whatever material I came across, had no exact solution for the prob., seems like different things were working for different people.

Here is my observation that can save your time. 1. Please verify, if you've messed anywhere with resources like strings, dimens, colors or in layout xml files.

By mistake I created some prob. with my strings xml file along with layout file.

Even clean build was not working, the same error kept popping after every rebuild/clean.

You have to look closely, to identify the prob. with your code.

Hope this helps.

First try to clean and rebuild your project from Build menu.

Step 1: go to Build -> Clean Project

Step 2: go to Build -> Rebuild Project

This should solve your problem.

Otherwise try updating Android SDK build tool from SDK manager and modify your build.gradle to use latest buildToolsVersion i.e "27.0.3" as of now
