Or

Its says that something wrong with JDK then Follow below steps to resolve the error.

Step 1: First delete .gradle and .idea folder from project directory and restart Android Studio. Make sure it's gone from recycle bin.

Step 2: Go to Project Structure

Step 3: Select SDK Location from the left panel on Project Structure window.

Step 4: Go to JDK Location and click on down arrow then select the jre instead of jdk

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre

And it will Solve the errors. Rebuild the project

Note: jre come with the android studio 4 installation not sure about the older version.

This solution work for me.
