Solved

Solved: Re-create the project and add the features again!

what do you mean re-create the project. do you mean delete note modules and platforms? — Daniel, May 28 '18 at 11:48

just put this code inside build.gradle on the last part

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
    }
}

If you update the v4 v7 version to 26.0.0, you also should change the CompileSdkVersion and BuildToolsVersion to 26.0.0

Strange cause of this error for me was that I was missing a drawable from a layout. I copied the layout from another project and forgot to copy the drawable before running my project. Also, check that the activity names in your layouts do not have spaces.

this problem comes from the mismatch project environment and executing platform environment. try to create a new project and run in the same platform environment. if its run, copy-paste old project src files.

$ ionic start 
$ cd "project_name"
$ ionic cordova platform add android
$ ionic cordova run android
copy-paste old project src files
