I am new in coding of any kind, but I have just fixed this error by following a solution in another StackOverflow thread that says to do the following:

Give in the command

gradlew.bat --info clean build

I gave this command into the end of my build.gradle file and it showed me AS WELL as fixed the error!

I'm so happy! This command should be the answer to many problems!
