FAILURE: Build failed with an exception

I am trying to upgrade my old Android project and getting below errors :

What might be the issue?

CodePudding user response：

Since it was older android project, the xml code of attr.xml file was look like as below :

<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="CustomFont">
        <attr name="font" format="string" />
    </declare-styleable>

and as per the error, we can use font keyword for the value of name parameter. So the Solution is to change to some other value such as fontName

So, I After change the updated file looks like as below :

<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="CustomFont">
        <attr name="fontName" format="string" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

and done changes where this font was used to fontName

That's All.
