Android Studio 3.0 - No server to serve request

Question

After clean install of Android Studio I always get the error

Error:java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: No server to serve request. Check logs for details.

and

Error:Execution failed for task ':Application:mergeDebugResources'. Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: No server to serve request. Check logs for details.

Java is up to date and the path is set.

I am new to Android Studio, what should I try?

Answer 1

This error occurred because you might have accidentally remove the executable flag from aapt2 which is located in $ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/27.0.2.

Try this:

• Re-download the sdk (recommended)

followed by-

• sudo chmod 777 -R $ANDROID_HOME

Note: $ANDROID_HOME is the location where I put android sdk

Hope this helps !!

Answer 2

for me it was a virus that corrupted my files from the "build tools" folder. so I uninstalled everything and made a new installation of android studio, SDK and build tools.

I had this problem on lubuntu-16 32bit (and also some other problems too). all of the problems were solved when I updated my system to lubuntu-16 64-bit.
