No resource found that matches the given name (at 'color' with value '@color/common_signin_btn_light_text_pressed')

Question

I have built my app earlier using the Android studio 1.1. I had no problems then. After upgrading I am getting the following error when I try to rebuild my app.

D:\-----\src\main\res\color\common_signin_btn_text_dark.xml
Error:(4, 55) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'color' with value '@color/common_signin_btn_dark_text_pressed').

I tried to search for solutions but couldn't find any solution. This is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'    

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.demo"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 18
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile project(':main')
    compile project(':library')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
    compile files('libs/StartAppInApp-2.4.7.jar')
}

The files are in the res/color folder like this. click here for image I also tried using API 23 and build tools 23.0.1 and many other options. I don't seem to understand the problem as it didn't exist the first time. I built the app 2 months back. I am new to coding so please bear with me if I have written anything silly. I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Inside the color.xml you can define colors as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

<item name="blue" type="color">#FF33B5E5</item>
<item name="purple" type="color">#FFAA66CC</item>
<item name="green" type="color">#FF99CC00</item>
<item name="orange" type="color">#FFFFBB33</item>
<item name="red" type="color">#FFFF4444</item>
<item name="darkblue" type="color">#FF0099CC</item>
<item name="darkpurple" type="color">#FF9933CC</item>
<item name="darkgreen" type="color">#FF669900</item>
<item name="darkorange" type="color">#FFFF8800</item>
<item name="darkred" type="color">#FFCC0000</item>

<integer-array name="androidcolors">
    <item>@color/blue</item>
    <item>@color/purple</item>
    <item>@color/green</item>
    <item>@color/orange</item>
    <item>@color/red</item>
    <item>@color/darkblue</item>
    <item>@color/darkpurple</item>
    <item>@color/darkgreen</item>
    <item>@color/darkorange</item>
    <item>@color/darkred</item>
</integer-array>
