Solution

It's a coincidence that as soon as I commented on your question I also ended up with same error and I resolved it my own.

File > Invalidate Caches/Restart

Solved my problem.

Problem

I'm trying to build my android project on AndroidStudio version 0.4.4, but something went wrong after I touched the file build.gradle, which now looks like this: ``` apply plugin: 'android' android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "19.0.1" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 9 targetSdkVersion 19 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } signingConfigs { release { storeFile file('somekey.jks') storePassword "pass" keyAlias "alias" keyPassword "pass" } } buildTypes { release { signingConfig signingConfigs.release runProguard false debuggable false jniDebugBuild false zipAlign true renderscriptDebugBuild false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } debug { debuggable true jniDebugBuild true renderscriptDebugBuild true } } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.2.42' } ``` It was like this before: ``` apply plugin: 'android' android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "19.0.1" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 8 targetSdkVersion 19 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { runProguard false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.2.42' } ``` Now I getting this error every time I try to run my project: ``` Throwable: Invalid file: file://C:/Users/user/AndroidStudioProjects/myprojectname/myproject/build/manifests/debug/AndroidManifest.xml ``` Does anyone know how to fix this?
