원인

해당 프로젝트의 Gradle 플러그인 실행시 Java11이 필요한데 현재 Java1.8로 설정되어 있어 발생

 

해결

<설정 페이지 이동>

안드로이드 스튜디오에서 [File > Setting...] 를 클릭하여 설정 페이지로 이동합니다.

<JDK 버전 설정>

설정 페이지에서 [Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle] 로 이동합니다.
1.8로 설정되어 있는 Gradle JDK를 11로 변경합니다.
OK 버튼을 클릭하여 변경 값을 적용합니다.

 

이제 정상적으로 빌드가 되는지 확인해봅시다!
