First of all you should update your Android Studio as stated here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=77983

Then you should go to File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate Caches & Restart.

Then try to build the application again.

Try:

Go to File->Invalidate Caches / Restart.
Close android studio, Go to C:\Users\(Your UserName)\.AndroidStudio(version)\system and delete caches folder.

If till now nothing worked, then this step will definitely work...

Simply change project location and import project with new location.

Invalidating caches/Restart didn't work for me, but simply deleting the caches folder in \Users\user.AndroidStudio(version)\system worked.

I have the same issue. I was tried Invalidate Cache / Restart & also sync project with Gradle Files but still didn't work. But worked by use the following steps:

upgrading gradle distribution version at gradle.wrapper.properties.

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

And also Android Gradle Plugin at build.gradle project

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2' //upgrade gradle plugin here

Then Invalidate Cache / Restart
That's all solved my problem. Hope you too

All above answer is correct but in my case There is no lib folder available in my app directory and I am trying to call below line in app gradle file

 compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

So make sure what ever dependency you declare in gradle file in available for app

Delete .idea/modules.xml
Reload All Gradle Projects

You do not want to remove entire .idea directory, because it contains e.g. dictionaries and shelved changes.

The above solution I've tried but didn't work for me.

I deleted the .idea folder from project directory.
Invalidate caches using Android Studio menu File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart
Deleted .gradle folder from user profile directory of Windows 10 operating system. (i.e., C:\Users\YourUserName\.gradle)

Try this solution if the above not working.

I had the exact same error and it was so annoying to see the alert every time I stared Android Studio. I tried the solution mentioned above including invalidating cache, restart etc, nothing made it go away.

In my case, we had a module that was deleted from source and the reference also removed from settings.gradle. Turns out, .idea/modules.xml was still referencing that module.

All I needed to do was remove that line from <modules> in .idea/modules.xml and it made it all go away.

You may resolve by below process:

In Android Studio, go to left panel, switch from Android to Project pane
Expand .idea folder, you can see modules.xml and open the file.
In the modules.xml file, you might see like below:

  <component name="...">
    <modules>
      <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/[check...].iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/[check...].iml" group="myProject" />
      <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/app/[check...]-app.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/app/[check...]-app.iml" group="[check...]/app" />

Check that match the module name correctly in module element
And then, sync the gradle file

In my case settings.gradle contained invalid configuration.

I changed:

include ':app'
rootProject.name='<somthing else>'

To:

include ':app'

Error is gone. So maybe check your settings.gradle for potential errors. If this won't work try to remove cache and other tips.

In My Case

I have deleted

android -> .idea Folder android -> appname.iml file android -> app -> app.iml file

Open project in Android Studio and no need to File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart

You can do Invalidate Caches / Restart for your case.

I know it's an old question. but I faced this problem after updating to Android Studio 3.0. I solved it by deleting app.iml file inside my app module and then Invalidate Caches / Restart.

I have encountered this problem.

I'm using buildSrc in my project.

I think the problem is with buildSrc. To solve the problem;

1- Kotlin and Android Stuido version updated (Kotlin version is 1.3.21, Android Studio version is 3.4)

2- Clean cache and restart android studio

But the problem is not solved.

As a last resort, I deleted the project file and clone it over git and the problem is solved

For windows users, this can also be caused by filesystem corruption.

If all steps above do not correct the error:

Close Android Studio
Open Command Prompt as Administrator
Run a chkdsk /f on the drive your app is stored
Delete .idea folder
Restart Android Studio

Step 1 : Delete .iml file

Step 2 : Check if your Project Directory Contain any white spaces if so then Rename your project directory leaving space

ex:

Before : My Project

After rename : MyProject

and open Android Studio...

In my case it is because the root project name have a space. So instead of naming it as sample project, it should be sample-project or sample_project.

You should import the the project

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37008041

This error shows up when there is a module in your project whose .iml file does not contain: external.system.id="GRADLE" Can you please check your .iml files? Also, instead of opening the project, import it, that will completely rewrite your .iml files and you won't see that error again.

In my case I cloned a git-project where both Java and Kotlin included. Then checked another branch and pressed "Sync Project with Gradle Files". Android Studio 3.0.1.

I solved a similar problem by closing the project, then re-importing the project (not opening, but re-importing as an eclipse or other project)

Close the Android Studio and Move ".idea" Folder and paste it outside Project root folder( For Back up if you need).

Open the Android studio. On Opening the project it"ll ask add module (app) to your project. You can ignore the same.

It set set default build variant to be "debug". You can see build variant tab on left corner or hover on "Monitor" Symbol on left bottom

Note: No need to change your .iml file of your project.tom to get build variant option and "Invalidate Cache and Restart" will also not work rather it will clear your history files too!.
