I have seen many mentions of this problem, but most say that this happens periodically. For me, I can’t compile or run my application at all. Build error, and it always exists.
I also saw stack exchange issues, stating that this is due to the version of Gradle, and it just needs to be updated in the build.gradle file. I am already using a much newer version than most of these questions. This seems to be an error caused by my resource files, including all my drawings and lines.
Please note that this project works fine in Eclipse, it works for me on hardware. When I import it into Studio, I get errors.
I have tried the following. -Restaurant studio -Clean Project, then rebuild -Create resource files in everything else in the file system inside the project
