    In my case there was an issue in the strings.xml file. I had created a plurals with two items in in with the same quantity of "one". The error was resolved for me as soon as I fixed it.

    <plurals name="some_key">
  <item quantity="one">Singular</item>
  <item quantity="one">Other</item> <!-- I had repeated this quantity here -->
</plurals>

    Usually these type of errors occurred when you try to add a string or any other resource with the same name that was already exist. e.g. If you have a string resource named ‘alpha’ ABCDEF in strings.xml file and if you are trying to extract another string e.g. "aeiou" and giving the same name ‘alpha’ that was already exists then the compiler automatically generates aeiou string resource in ids.xml. Therefore when you try to build the project the above error will be occurred. So to solve this problem you should to delete a new string resource from ids.xml then you can to solve the problem.
