gradle - Android Studio - processDebugResources failed

Question

So I'm trying to build my project in Android Studio, but each time the project has been loaded or been executed, I get the following error. I have no clue how to fix this ...

Execution failed for task ':oefening1:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:
C:UsersJorreAppDataLocalAndroidandroid-studio1sdkuild-toolsandroid-        4.4.2aapt.exe package -f --no-crunch -I C:UsersJorreAppDataLocalAndroidandroid-studio1sdkplatformsandroid-19android.jar -M C:UsersJorreDesktopAndroidOefeningoefening1uildmanifestsdebugAndroidManifest.xml -S C:UsersJorreDesktopAndroidOefeningoefening1uild

Error Code:    -1073741819

This is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar'])
}

anyone got a solution for me? :/ Keep in mind that I'm a beginner and don't know much about Android Studio or Gradle ..

If this is happenning to you after switching to compileSdkVersion 21 make sure you use buildToolsVersion "21.0.2" (or later), not "21.0.1".
