Can't create asset from res/anim/activity_close_exit.xml. Make sure you have passed in the correct path and file name.

I've seen this warning for the longest time. My code does not use any activity_close_exit.xml animation at all:

W/Calligraphy: Can't create asset from res/anim/activity_close_exit.xml. Make sure you have passed in the correct path and file name.

I've encountered a similar problem, but in my case RuntimeException had message native typeface cannot be made. It turned out, that when I removed <item name="fontPath"> from my "main custom app theme", it didn't show up anymore. So, anyone: if you have a similar exception, try not using fontPath in global app theme.

same problem, nice answer

On my side the problem was with the location of the 'assets' folder. Once I put it as sibling of the 'res' folder under common parent .../src/main all was fine again :)
