I found a solution in Window>Preferences>Android>Build by setting "Build output" on Normal and then Project>Clean>Clean All.

I don't know if this is the definitive solution but it made me able to export my apk with the proper .9.png drawable layout.

I had this same problem defining a menu item like this:

<item 
    android:id="@+id/menu_help" 
    android:showAsAction="never|withText"
    android:title="@string/action_label_help"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_help"
/>

I was just missing the icon file ic_menu_help, but instead of giving me a nice message that the image file was missing, it crashes aapt.

Answer 3

I faced the same problem when I tried to add id as <resources> as mentioned here.

<resources>
  <item type="id" name="button_ok" />
  <item type="id" name="dialog_exit" />
</resources>

When I deleted this, the build was successful.
