Answer 1

This resource has been removed. See: https://medium.com/@chrisbanes/appcompat-v23-2-age-of-the-vectors-91cbafa87c88#.b1pysvcvl

Setting this flag should help:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  }
}

If you have not updated yet, and are using v1.5.0 or below of the Gradle plugin, you need to add the following to your app’s build.gradle:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    // Stops the Gradle plugin’s automatic rasterization of vectors
    generatedDensities = []
  }
  // Flag to tell aapt to keep the attribute ids around
  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
  }
}

Answer 2

I think Google is converting Drawable to Vector Drawable from Android Support Library 23.2 as there is back port support in it.

For this they removed @drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha in Android Support Library 23.2& added a vector drawable named R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material

Solution:

Add support for Vector drawable

// Gradle Plugin 2.0+  
android {
defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  }
}
// Gradle Plugin 1.5  


android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     generatedDensities = []  
  }  

  // This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin  
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
 } 

Replace abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha to abc_ic_ab_back_material

Answer 3

I had the same problem using the support Library 23.2.0 with the buildToolsVersion 23.0.2 and classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0. So, I solved it by changing the distributionUrl in the gradle-wrapper.properties file from https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip to https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip .

I solved this error by strictly declaring the previous AppCompat:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1'
