In the given code:

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

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    sourceCompatibility = "1.8"
    targetCompatibility = "1.8"
}


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

replace the task clean with task delete then it will work:

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

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    sourceCompatibility = "1.8"
    targetCompatibility = "1.8"
}


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