3rd-party Gradle plug-ins may be the cause

Question

To solve the issue, remove Instant App Provision from the "Run Configurations" and leave only the Gradle-Aware Make.

Run -> Edit Configurations..

I have AndroidStudio 3.1, Gradle Plugin 3.1.0 and Kotlin library version 1.2.30.

I restarted Android Studio and the problem disappeared.

Click File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart

Every time I change the gradle file, I must restart Android Studio to or the problem returns.

You can also try this:

1. Re-ordered repositories to:

   mavenCentral()
   maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
   google()
   jcenter()
   

2. Clearing this folder: user's ~/.gradle/caches and deleting app build folder manually, then clean and rebuild.

What fixed the issue for me:

• Change gradle plugin version to 3.1.0
• Change Kotlin version to 1.2.30
• Then Android studio changed gradle wrapper to version 4.4
• Then Android studio was saying that the build tools version used was 27.0.3 and that I should change it to 27.0.3 so I also changed the target SDK to 27

• I added this to my gradle.build:

  kapt {
       generateStubs = true
   }
  

I hope it helps

at android studio v3.1.2 , happen Error:

Folder D:\AndroidProjects\app\build\generated\source\kaptKotlin\debug
Folder D:\AndroidProjects\app\build\generated\source\kaptKotlin\release
3rd-party Gradle plug-ins may be the cause

because dataBinding use apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' so add

kapt {
    generateStubs = true
}

1. Change gradle plugin version to 3.1.2
2. Change Kotlin version to 1.2.30
3. Then Android studio changed gradle wrapper to version 4.4
4. Then Android studio was saying that the build tools version used was 27.1.1 and that I should change it to 27.1.1 so I also changed the target SDK to 27

Here are some steps that I've followed. In my case it's fixed the issue!

Platform modules targeting Android The update of the experimental multiplatform projects feature introduces support for Android platform modules. These modules should apply the corresponding plugin in the Gradle build script and can use the shared code from a common module:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-platform-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
// ...
// ...

Kapt diagnostic locations As of now, kapt, the Kotlin annotation processing tool, can offer links to locations in the original Kotlin code rather than generated Java stubs as it reports errors encountered during annotation processing. You can enable this feature by adding these lines to the Gradle build script (build.gradle):

kapt {
    mapDiagnosticLocations = true
}

Add this:

allprojects {
        repositories {
            jcenter()
            google()
        }
    }

Don't forget the next:

// Architecture Component - Room

     implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.1.0-beta1"
        kapt "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.1.0-beta1"

      // Lifecyles, LiveData and ViewModel
    kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.1.0'


 // ViewModel and LiveData
    implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1"

// alternatively, just ViewModel
    implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:viewmodel:1.1.1"

 // alternatively, just LiveData
     implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:livedata:1.1.1"
       kapt "android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:1.1.1"

 // Room (use 1.1.0-beta1 for latest beta)
    implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.0.0"
      kapt "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.0.0"


// Paging
    implementation "android.arch.paging:runtime:1.0.0-alpha7"

        // Test helpers for LiveData
    testImplementation "android.arch.core:core-testing:1.1.1"

        // Test helpers for Room
 testImplementation "android.arch.persistence.room:testing:1.0.0"

1. Clean your project

2. Build and That's it!
