ERROR: Cannot add task 'clean' as a task with that name already exists

Question

I am facing a problem while building from Gradle. This is the error which I am facing:

ERROR: Cannot add task 'clean' as a task with that name already exists.

Here is my Gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "net.accedegh.retrofitlibrary"
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
//noinspection GradleCompatible
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0"
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'}

Top-level build.gradle file

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. 
buildscript { 
    repositories { 
        jcenter() 
        google() 
    } 

   dependencies { 
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2' 
       // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong 
       // in the individual module build.gradle files 
   } 
} 

allprojects { 
    repositories { 
        maven { 
            url 'maven.google.com' 
            name 'Google' 
        } 
    } 

    task clean(type: Delete) { 
        delete rootProject.buildDir 
    } 
}

Please give me the solution if anyone knows.

Answer 1

You have this task defined in your project-level build.gradle (as posted in your comments):

task clean(type: Delete) { 
    delete rootProject.buildDir 
}

Android Studio's Gradle wrapper already has a clean task defined, so there's no need to re-define it. Just delete that task from your project-level build.gradle file.
