Please, provide some code. That will be very helpful.

But, for now as the error shows:

Daemon: AAPT2 aapt2-3.2.0-alpha17-4804415-windows Daemon #0

It means you must have some error in your XML files (layout files or drawable files), check your recent history of your XML file if you are working on Android Studio

right click on xml file-> Local history-> show History

or look for any error that XML file is showing.

values.xml:352: error: resource android:attr/popupPromptView is private.

And also refer to this error in values.xml file
