When you get Execution failed for task ':...Resources' error, you can try Build>Clean Build in Android Studio, if your problem is not solved, try File>Invalidate Caches / Restart>Invalidate and Restart, if your problem is still not solved it means you got an error in Layout files or Drawable files (or other xml files in /res folder), So you have to check all your Xml files in /res folder and solve problems.

Edit: you can try this too: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60836833/13761413

I closed Andriod Studio and deleted folder content from C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.gradle\caches and tried again. That worked for me.
