I have tried all the possible solutions for this error. Require guidance here:

I am using Windows Laptop : Android Studio 2020.3.1.22

Below is the build.graddle file:

plugins { id 'com.android.application' id 'kotlin-android' } android { compileSdk 31 defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.myapplication3" minSdk 21 targetSdk 31 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" multiDexEnabled = true } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } compileOptions { // Flag to enable support for the new language APIs coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled = true sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = '1.8' } } dependencies { implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0' implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1' implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0' implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.0' testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0' coreLibraryDesugaring("com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:1.1.5") }

also my graddle wrapper properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStorePath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

my output of ./gradlew --version

This error happened to me while I was using Jetpack Compose and it required java 11, but I was using java 1.8. So if you cannot find jdk 11 in dropdown that means you have not downloaded it yet, so click download jdk and download 11 and click apply).

Add the JavaHome path to wrapper.properties

Changing the Gralde JDK from Android Studio Preferences didn't work for me.

But I was able to correct the JDK by adding the org.gradle.java.home path in the gradle-wrapper.properties file.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-all.zip # I had to add this line (macos) org.gradle.java.home=/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home

I found the JAVA_HOME path by going to File -> Project Structure -> SDKs -> Choose the JDK you want to use -> JDK home path.

enter image description here

After that, I was able again to run gradlew commands.

Just change jvmTarget to 11, like bellow code.

kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = '1.8' }

change '1.8' to '11'

kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = '11' }
