I am having this issue when I am having file with name 01a.png under res/drawable of my android app. The error looks like:

Error: The resource name must start with a letter

I am using build:gradle:2.1.2 and SDK version 24.
I am not sure if this issue is related to gradle? Asking here, just to get confirmed.
