title: Gradle throw app:mergedebugresources exception
body: <p>This project previously from intellij, now migrate to android studio as Gradle android project. 
  I wish to add google play service dependency using gradle later, I can't find specific jar elsewhere... 
  Previously this project was running fine using ant, after import as gradle in android studio, I get Gradle mergedebugresources exception.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to rebuild project, sync project with gradle file, but didn't work for me... Am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>Hope someone guide me, I'm new to Gradle &amp; android studio.</p>
