Answer 1

What fixed it in my case was to change the location of my color.xml

As I copied it from some other project of mine and pasted it in the new project, Android Studio placed it in the v21 folder, meaning my emulator (v19) could not reach the resource file color.xml.

I did the following to fix it:

1. Right click on color.xml.
2. Select Refactor > Move.
3. On the dialog that open, removed the suffix -v21.

Now, my "old" emulator was able to read the file.

I hope it helps..
