Answer 1

Try to do the following

1. Build - Rebuild project

or

2.go to “File” -> “Invalidate Caches/Restart”

or

3. An invalid picture name may also cause the same (1.png....etc)

or

4. path length restriction. I think it's 256 characters maximum.

   Relocate your project and the build will succeed.

Hope these will help. Thank you

Answer 2

Finally after lots of search, I got The answer which works for me now - step 1 ==> goto [ Build --> clean project ] step 2 ==> Goto ["File -> Project Structure"] and Change "Android Gradle plugin version " to 3.3.2

step 3 ==> Restart Android Studio

Hope this will also works for you. ;-)
