Answer 1

Important Update

Do not add this line to your project as other answers. Because it is already resolved in newer Gradle versions.

You can update your build gradle version in Project level build.gradle to latest.

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        // choose latest if available
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha06'
    }
}

and gradle-wrapper.properties

// choose latest if available
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip

That's All! Sync and Run, Bingo!
