Answer 1

This is what solved the problem for me:

In my ids.xml file I had this code which worked fine before the android studio upgrade:

<resources>
    <item name="faqID" type="id">faq</item>
</resources>

Changed it to:

<resources>
    <item name="faqID" type="id"/>
</resources>

And everything is back to normal.

Answer 2

Make sure you have no error in your ids.xml file.

Answer 3

I faced this error the android build output gave me three options i clickced Run with --stacktrace after that it rebuild and showed me the line of the error like this layout/registeration_user_fragment.xml:86: error: not well-formed (invalid token).

Answer 4

Just need to learn how to read error code.
Please read the error log carefully

in this case

this is the main issue on your xml

inner element must either be a resource reference or empty.

Where?

Answer 5

The problem got solved when I used:

./gradlew app:assembleRelease

instead of

./gradlew assembleRelease

Upgrading buildVersionTools to 28.0.3 solved my issue.
