I have got this Error while building grade

Error:Execution failed for task \':app:processDebugResources\'. > No slave process to process jobs, abor

Answer 1

• At first go to these setting in android studio (first pic)

• and check (second pic) "Use embedded JDK (recommended)"

• and also add shrinkResources true in your build.gradle .

  buildTypes { release { shrinkResources true }

  }
  

At last rebuild the project.

Answer 2

This thread was mentioned in No slave process to process jobs, aborting android studio 3.0.1 and I had exact same issue. (Error was not going in-spite of shrink=false, minify=false, invalidte cache).

Simple solution which solved the issue was close the android studio & relaunch it. Not sure why "invalidate cache & restart" failed. But seems that Android is becoming new MSWindows.. (I lost 1.5 hours in finding on forums & trying to fix the error.. Eventually it turned out to be a windows trick.)

Hope this age old trick will help somebody..

Answer 3

In my case, I added compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') to my build.gradle(Module:app) and rebuild my project. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Add shrinkResources true in your build.gradle and try to build.

buildTypes {
    release {
        shrinkResources true
  }
}
