Check if the only existing folder in <SDK>\build-tools is the 23.0.3 folder.

Are you using any vector drawable xml in your Resourcedir?
Vectordrawables is a feature of Android 5 (or 6) and maybe not supported on 4.4 Android

res/drawable/abc_vector_test.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f02004f

 

[konradwalsh]

the only file in that folder is the icon file

Actually - I did a search and found this -

"\Kids Worksheet Source Files\Objects\bin\extra\res2\res\drawable\abc_vector_test.xml"

 

[DonManfred]

Are you using any #AdditionalRes commands? Is there such a xml file in the drawables folders where the path points to?

 

[konradwalsh]

    #AdditionalRes: ..\resource
    #Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity

 

[DonManfred]

is there a drawable in your

projectdir\resource\drawable\abc_vector_test.xml

Actually - I did a search and found this

Sounds like this drawable is included in one of the used libs.

 

[konradwalsh]

projectdir\resource\drawable\abc_vector_test.xml

this doesnt exist... Should it?

 

[konradwalsh]

ok .. my idea didnt work.
does anyone know how to diagnose or resolve this one?

 

[DonManfred]

does anyone know how to diagnose or resolve this one?

1. Check the selected libs.
2. copy the jar´s from the selected libs to a temporary folder. "appcompat" lib = appcompat.jar
dialogs lib = dialogs.jar and so on...
3. rename the jar to be an zip file. AppCompat.jar -> appCompat.zip
Do this for all selected libs.
4. Check the content of the zip-files you just got and check if there is such a drawable inside of those zip´s

Hope it helps
