A failure occurred while exec

Answer 1

The issue is with build gradle 3.1.4. Downgrade to 3.1.3 and you should be good to go

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

Answer 2

Adding vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true to defaultConfig of build.gradle(Module) worked for me. :)

Answer 3

Just add vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true in defaultConfig, it's work fine for me

defaultConfig {
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}

Answer 4

The advantage of adding a multi-density vector graphic is to use a vector instead of a bitmap to reduce the size of the APK because the size of the same file can be adjusted for different screen densities without loss off image quality. For older versions of Android that don't support vector drawables, Vector Asset Studio can, at build time, turn your vector drawables into different bitmap sizes for each screen density

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha8

build.gradle

android {
  defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  }
}

Answer 5

add this to your build.gradle under defaultConfig

vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true .

this will solve your problem.

Answer 6

There is a lot problems with android studio canary 6, the best way to solve that is to change your class path in the dependencies in your gradle to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
