I had the same problem because there was files with windows-1251 encoding and Cyrillic comments. In Android Studio which is based on IntelliJ IDEA you can solve it in two ways:
a) convert file encoding to UTF-8 or
b) set the right file encoding in your build.gradle script:
android {
...
compileOptions.encoding = 'windows-1251' // write your encoding here
...
To convert file encoding use the menu at the bottom right corner of IDE. Select right file encoding first -> press Reload -> select UTF-8 -> press Convert.

Adding the following to build.gradle solves the problem :
android {
...
compileOptions.encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'
}
1/ Convert the file encoding
File -> Settings -> Editor -> File encodings -> set UTF-8 for
Press OK
2/ Rebuild Project
Build -> Rebuild project
I have the problem with encoding in javadoc generated by intellij idea. The solution is to add
-encoding UTF-8 -docencoding utf-8 -charset utf-8
into command line arguments!
UPDATE: more information about compilation Javadoc in Intellij IDEA see in my post
Add system variable (for Windows) "JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS" = "-Dfile.encoding=UTF8".
I did it only way to fix this error.
In Android Studio resolved it by
ISO-8859-1
UTF-8
and the same case to Default encoding for properties files.A few encoding issues that I had to face couldn't be solved by above solutions. I had to either update my Android Studio or run test cases using following command in the AS terminal.
gradlew clean assembleDebug testDebug
P.S your encoding settings for IDE and project should match.
Hope it helps !
