Cannot figure out what exactly the problem here, not able to build the code, before it was working fine but suddenly it stopped working don't know why.

What are the type of images are you using?Is it `png` or `jpg`?@Yash Parikh — Asteroid, May 07 '18 at 09:24
Did you change the format of images manually?There are two problem the image format changing manually or long path issue.See this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30764604/execution-failed-for-task-appmergedebugresources-crunching-cruncher-png-fa @Yash Parikh — Asteroid, May 07 '18 at 09:36

Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT) can also compile resources into binary assets. Build scripts and IDE plugins utilize this tool to package the apk file that constitutes an Android application.

At first, REMOVE one </activity> tag.

 </activity>
         </activity>

Then Check your drawables folder and make sure resources present or not in your all drawable folder.

Add below in your build.gradle section.

android 
{ 
   aaptOptions
   {
   cruncherEnabled = false
   } 
}

Finally Clean-Rebuild-Run.
