AAPT2 Error solution.

If your Android studio has been updated.

Maybe, you would face an error in the studio like "AAPT 2 error: check the log for details"

This error will occur when you have done something wrong in your .xml file such as incorrect value, content not found, etc.

But, At that time you will not have the error specification there. Because the new version of Android Studio does not give you a specific error. It gives like AAPT2 error.

If you want to know where the actual error is

Follow step.

1. Look at the panel which is at the right of your Android studio Check out the "Gradle" tab and click on it.

4. Then you will get options list and see "assembleDebug" double click on it.
5. Keep the patience and See build tab at the bottom panel of Android studios, you will get a specific error there.
