Answer 1

I too faced the same issue when I updated my Android Studio to V4.2. I had to modify two files.

In build.gradle, I changed dependency from

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'

to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'

In gradle-wrapper.properties, I changed the distributionUrl from

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

to

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I solved it by changing the Android JDK path by JDK 8.

First you need to download and install JDK 8 from this link [JDK 8] (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html)

and should change your JDK path manually: Go to Project Structure -> SDK Location -> JDK Location -> select the three dots button -> select the JDK 8 folder installed in your pc (generally it will be in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.. ) press ok. it solved this problem for me.

Answer 3

I too faced this issue and this helped me to rectify. In build.grade, change the classpath to

classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0

In gradle-wrapper.properties, change the distributionUrl

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip

Answer 4

this is because your Android Studio was upgraded to 4.2, and in 4.2 the AS is build in java 11, you should change your JDK path manually, Project Structure -> SDK Location, don't use your Android Studio.app's JDK path. install or change another one.

I had the same problem and I solved it by updating "DSL element 'android.dataBinding.enabled' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'android.buildFeatures.dataBinding'"

android {

    buildFeatures {

         dataBinding true

         // for view binding:
         // viewBinding true
    }
}

Reference DSL element 'android.dataBinding.enabled' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'android.buildFeatures.dataBinding'
