Emulator Errors

Hello, After trying to run the emulator, I receive the following errors:

Error:(13, 23) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@mipmap/ic_launcher').

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\21.1.2\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Does anyone know what is causing these? Thanks in advance!

Make sure your IDs in the layout match up to your variable declarations in the activity.

Also, consider testing on a real device if you own an Android phone. That's what I do and it makes life much, much, easier for testing apps real time.

Hey William!

There has been a recent change to Android Studio where the folders are now called mipmaps rather than drawables. I am guessing that here you tried to overwrite the files but, instead of overwriting it created new files instead. You have two options to go about this:

Update the directory names

You can simply rename the drawable- files to mipmap- instead.

I've done this for you if you would prefer to simply extract the files directly into their directory - you can download the pre-made files here

Change from mipmaps to drawable files

You can keep with the drawable format used in this project by opening your AndroidManifest.xml file (Located in the res directory) and then changing this code:

<!-- (-) DELETE THIS LINE: android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" - Replace with the line below \/ -->
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

Hope it helps and if you have any more questions, give me a shout :)
