After update of Android Studio 3.6 & Gradle to 3.5.0 unable to run project

Question

Everything was working smoothly but after update of Android Stdio 3.6 & Gradle to 3.5.0, Project is not building, Getting bellow errors

 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
   > Android resource compilation failed

Here is gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m
android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true

`Invalidate cashes / Resart` from file menu. that worked for me — Vipul Prajapati, Sep 09 '19 at 11:17
add this line to gradle.properties: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m — OsamaD, Sep 09 '19 at 11:22

Finally.. I have solved the problem.. I observed error was in constraintlayout as per logcat and observed the constraintlayout version which was alpha I downgrade the version to implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3' and the issue got fixed.

I have the same error and weirdly enough my error is at res/values/strings.xml – Pavlos Oct 18 '21 at 07:31
@Pavlos did u fix it ? If yes then would mind explaining me the reason please ? I am also facing the exact same error during release build. – Noman Jul 21 '22 at 08:02
@Noman Hope you can fix this issue. I don't have a lot of confidence in those old Android libraries. I suggest removing the line where the code is showing you an error and trying again. One option is to remove libraries that show the problem – Pavlos Jul 21 '22 at 08:30

Try changing in gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m

Anyone that tried to do so with com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2 and Gradle Version 5.4.1 the fix is the same - make sure you are working with

androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3

when using 3.5.0 and up without androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3 - the UI will be blank (inflate exception) for any view that is extending ConstraintLayout.

Relieved (or should that be depressed?) to know there are just as many bugs in Android Studio as in Visual Studio .. – Richard Hammond Oct 11 '22 at 19:17
