org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions.setBootClasspath(Ljava/lang/String;)V'

I'm unable to build the project after updating android studio to 3.4. can anyone please help me.
Unable to find method 'org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions.setBootClasspath(Ljava/lang/String;)V'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.
In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

SampleProject/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
▼ change
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip

The version of gradle in gradle-wrapper.properties doesn’t match the version of Android build tools specified in the project’s build.gradle. Each version of Android build tools is only compatible with certain versions of Gradle, see https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-gradle.
You can change one of them. Below is a sample:
gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
build.gradle
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'

try to change distributionUrl in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1.20-all.zip

Update the classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1' to latest version in your project gradle.

Between gradle version v4.0.0 and v5.0.0 the method "void setBootClasspath(String bootClasspath)" moved from the class CompileOptions to the class MinimalJavaCompileOptions:
org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.compile.MinimalJavaCompileOptions.setBootClasspath
Using gradle version below v5.0.0 solved the problem in my case.
Installation (for installation details look at README.md):
git clone --depth 1 --branch v4.4.1 https://github.com/gradle/gradle.git gradle_v4.4.1
cd gradle_v4.4.1
less README.md

As seen from your error:
The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
Try to kill your gradle daemons using below command:
$ ps -ef | grep '.*GradleDaemon.*'
Then kill the PIDs using kill, e.g.
$ kill -f 91747

Make sure that the file gradle-wrapper.properties exists at path ProjectRoot/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
P.S. If the project is pulled from GIT, Ask the developer to add gradle-wrapper.properties to git by Right-Click --> Add

If you are using intellij 2019, try upgrading to 2021. This worked for me.

After I changed to version 1.2.30 in my build-gradle the build worked, but now I have a mismatch between the version used by gradle (1.2.30) and the one bundled into the IDE plugin (1.2.40).
Is there anything I am doing wrong with the new kotlin version ? Or how can I downgrade to the 1.2.30 version ?
Thank you for the attention.

You can downgrade by downloading a plugin zip corresponding to your android studio version here: http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6954-kotlin
And use Settings | Plugins | Install plugin from disk and select the downloaded zip file.

The problem is that they've introduced a binary incompatibility in compiler-embeddable in Kotlin 1.2.40. There're a few options right now:
Downgrade Kotlin to the 1.2.30
Use the latest Kotlin version with the stable Room version (1.1.0). Then you must substitute the kotlin-compiler-embeddable dependency (see below).
Use the latest Kotlin version with the latest Room version (1.1.0-rc1). They've fix bug in RC1.
I'd use the 3d way and keep an eye on the Room's releases. But if you choose the 2nd one then you must insert this in your root build.gradle:
subprojects {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
eachDependency {
if (requested.name == "kotlin-compiler-embeddable") {
useVersion("1.2.30")
}
}
}
}
}

In Android Studio, the sync failed:

The command-line gradle installDebug worked. There were no messages in the "Messages" view. In the idea.log, the following NullPointerException appeared:

2018-02-04 14:53:15,234 [ thread 15] INFO - e.project.sync.GradleSyncState - Gradle sync failed (4s 121ms)
Using Invalidate Caches/Restart and removing the .gradle folder did not help. Why is this? How is it fixed?

After unsetting a local gradle distribution in Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle (which was set for debugging this problem), Android Studio offered to update to gradle:3.0.1 from gradle:3.0.0. This fixed it.
Previous steps taken:
add the google() repository to buildscript and allprojects
upgrade the compileSdkVersion, and targetSdkVersion to 27
upgrade all com.android.support libraries to 26.1.0

I was getting similar errors after I upgraded my Android Studio to 3.1.3. I don't remember the exact version I was on before that -- version 2 series.
The reason I was getting these errors was because the Gradle plugin version I was using was too low.
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
...
}
Once I updated the version from 2.2.3 to 2.3.3, then Android Studio was able to move on and give me more meaningful error messages such as
Gradle sync failed: Minimum supported Gradle version is 3.3. Current version is 2.14.1. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-3.3-all.zip
From there, it's just a matter of resolving version compatibility issues.

For me, it was a simple solution: I had deleted a module from my project and forgot to delete it from settings.gradle
Maybe this can help somebody

Error when building with Android Annotations

I'm using the guide here to integrate Android Annotations in my Eclipse project (no Maven). I've got the latest ADT running, and tried cleaning my project, double checking build paths and order/export, and turning annotations on and off, but whenever I add the Android Annotations jar to the entries under Java Compiler > Annotation Processing > Factory Path in Eclipse, I get this error:

Anyone have a fix?

You might have copied the wrong of the 2 jars. Please check carefully, where you place the one with and without "api" in the name (as given on the configuration page).
Besides that I guess you have checked all steps from the trouble shooting section.

It turned out to be a bug with my snapshot of Android Annotations. Reverting to the stable 2.7.1 works!
