There's anything that could be missing on gradle configuration?

Answer 1

I uninstall the Java 11 and install the java 8

Answer 2

Update your gradle version in project level gradle

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.x.x'

OR

Change File->Project Structure->SDK Location->JDK path to jdk 1.8 location "Home" folder which should be installed in your system.

Answer 3

If you are using Android Studio 3.6 or later go to Project Structure -> SDK Location and change JDK Location. Android Studio comes with default JRE. It is available in dropdown menu.
