Instant app doesn't build: Invalid dimen

[Dawars]

The assembleDebug task fails with the following error message when I try to run the instant module, the installed module starts fine. I tried creating a new project as well as using the sample project here but both fail.

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and just installed Android Studio 3 with the latest tools.

I couldn't reproduce the issue on either of the projects. Could you try ./gradlew clean assemble on the command line and see if the problem persists?

[Dawars]

I get the same error message. I tried on 2 separate Ubuntu machines.

Are you on Ubuntu as well? Can you send the actual dimen value inside the merged values.xml?

[Dawars]

Here is the whole values.xml: https://pastebin.com/vt0WSJVv

line 244:<item format="float" name="abc_disabled_alpha_material_dark" type="dimen">0.30</item> line 282:<item format="float" name="disabled_alpha_material_dark" type="dimen">0.30</item> line 285:<item format="float" name="highlight_alpha_material_colored" type="dimen">0.26</item> etc

It's the lines in that format having no unit.

These are fine:

<item name="abc_dialog_fixed_height_minor" type="dimen">100%</item> <item name="abc_dialog_fixed_width_major" type="dimen">320dp</item>

Thanks for your reports. We're looking into the source of the issue.

Same here on Ubuntu 16.04. It started to reproduce since I moved to Android Studio 3.0 from 2.3 with my Instant App project.

The workaround is to switch your development machine to a locale which uses "." as a decimal mark. To track the fix of this issue star this issue from the Google issuetracker.

[Dawars]

It has to do with the regional formats, not the local. It can be changed the following way:

AS 3.0 Beta 2 still has this issue. Changing regional settings is rather workaround, than a solution...

We are aware of this issue and are working on a solution. There's a link to a tracked issue in my comment above.

Hello, How is it resolved for debian 9? Thanks.

[keyboardsurfer]

Hi @ktiusks, have you tried the solutions provided both in this thread and in the issuetracker link above?

[LeadManPL]

Just a notification, Android Studio 3.0 Beta 6 still has this issue. Changing regional settings workaround, still saves the day ;P

Tying android studio 3.0.0 beta 6 for some reason it doesnt seem to work for me. still invalid dimen error for all decimal 0.xx values. current locale is correctly set:

`jcuypers@nostradamus:/usr/local/android-studio-preview/bin$ locale

@jcuypers : try out this one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44304075

[jcuypers]

sorry for the late reply. It seems that Beta 7 has solved the issue. I dont know whether this has worked because of my previous changes already or Its solely because of the update. If you have issues like this I would recommended to upgrade to the latest and to tray again. thanks
