Resolve the resource-not-found errors shown in the errors panel.

This correction will resolve the resource-not-found errors shown in the errors panel.

This "Android resource linking failed" error occurs when there are problems with your resource files (like missing or incorrectly named images, XML syntax errors, or unsupported configurations).

In your screenshot, the error specifically points to resources located at:

mipmap-anydpi/ic_launcher.xml

mipmap-anydpi/ic_launcher_round.xml

These errors indicate your project might have a corrupted or incorrectly created icon resource.

⁠

✅ How to fix the issue:

Solution: Regenerate the launcher icons using Android Studio’s built-in Asset Studio.

Follow these steps:

Delete problematic mipmap-anydpi folders

In Android Studio's Project view, navigate to:

app/src/main/res/mipmap-anydpi/

Delete the entire mipmap-anydpi folder.

Recreate launcher icons properly:

In Android Studio, right-click on app → New → Image Asset

In the Asset Studio, select Launcher Icons from the dropdown menu.

Configure your icon settings, and confirm by clicking Next, then Finish.

Clean and Rebuild Project

Build → Clean Project

Build → Rebuild Project

⁠

📌 Why this happens:

This typically happens due to corrupted auto-generated launcher icons or accidentally introduced XML syntax errors in launcher resource files.

This procedure will reliably solve your resource linking error.
