I had this error for a couple of days, and I canβt open any project or even create new ones. I did not understand the solutions that I found on the Internet, and I had already re-earned Android Studio to repeat the same error again. Please help me. I am using Windows 10.
Edit: None. I got this error: Exception in thread "png-cruncher_5" java.lang.RuntimeException: timeout for a slave process has expired, make sure aapt is running in C: \ Users \ Fabiola \ AppData \ Local \ Android \ Sdk \ build-tools \ 25.0. 2 \ aapt.exe may work successfully (some antiviruses may block it) or try setting the environment variable SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT to a value greater than 5 seconds
My is located in the folder C: \ User \ Fabiola \ SDKAndroidStudio \ build-tools Can this be a problem?
