Android studio 3.0 Canary 6 A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.MergeResources$FileGenerationWorkAction

Question

All was fine until i updated the android studio to Canary 6, When i rebuild or clean or whatever with project it's throw :

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.MergeResources$FileGenerationWorkAction

And this error guide me to my vectors.xml [All of them got this error] .

My Current app level build.gradle :

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "example.project"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 42
        versionName "1.3"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        //multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    buildTypes {
        buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            }
        }
    }
}


dependencies {

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'//<-- can't update to new one
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.7'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:25.3.1'
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.1.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Also when i tried to download com.android.support libraries, The IDE just search for the sdk and just do nothing.

What i have been tried :

• Clean and Rebuild.

• Invalidate Caches.

The advantage of adding a multi-density vector graphic is to use a vector instead of a bitmap to reduce the size of the APK because the size of the same file can be adjusted for different screen densities without loss off image quality. For older versions of Android that don't support vector drawables, Vector Asset Studio can, at build time, turn your vector drawables into different bitmap sizes for each screen density

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha8

build.gradle

android {
  defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  }
}
