ERROR :Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'

Question

When I try to build my project, the Messages Gradle Build reports these messages:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException (no error message)

Gradle file

android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '25.0.2'
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.bolt.skola"
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}


}

androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

are you sure that SDK version is installed in your SDK Manager? try to edit your buildToolsVersion :) — Android Mediocre
All seems fine to me. I'm using it as well. Clean and Re- build project once. — Aishwarya Tiwari
try to sync your gradle :) Sync Project Gradle or alt + g then try to run it again :) — Android Mediocre

Most probably you have an item in your XML without a proper ID

<Button android:id="@+id/"/>

It's hard for the compiler to detect the cause.
