Android Studio doesn't recognize GSON Library

I am making an app in Android Studio and I need to use GSON library. I have downloaded gson-2.8.2-javadoc. And then I followed this way

File->New->New Module->Import .JAR/.AAR Package->gson-2.8.2-javadoc->Finish

After that

File->Project Structure->app->Dependencies->Module Dependency->gson-2.8.2-javadoc->OK

but Android Studio did not recognize the Gson. I googled and saw the this as solution :

dependencies {
      implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2' 
}

but this is not working too.

My gradle version was 4.4 and I upgraded it 4.9 , again this is not working too. Here is my build.gradle file:

buildscript {


    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

    }
}

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

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

By the way, I tried same ways different versions of Gson Library, it did not work as well. So, what is the reason for this issue? And What is the exact solution?

At first, Make sure you removed gson MODULE from your Project.

Read How to delete a module in Android Studio ?

"File -> Project Structure" -> Select gson Module and then Click Red Mark Negative Sign.

FYI

You should use latest version.

implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'

Then Clean-Rebuild-Run.

I think you may have to had 

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

to your application build.gradle file. Then build and it will be good
