Try creating a new project and add the source code only, and see what happens when you build it.

In future, if you have errors, please provide the context and also the full text. We cannot guess what is happening on your system.

Only one way to find out.

Today I have tried to resolve my problem with old Android project.
But Solution 1 has not helped me.
After I had changed Gradle version in files C:\path to project\AddressBook\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties

so as:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

I received error in Android Studio 3.6.2

org.gradle.tooling.BuildException: Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 5.6.4. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in C:\path to project\AddressBook\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.2-all.zip

So I have returned old Gradle version - 2.4
File->Project Structure->Project pane->"Gradle version".

But I have problem with import classes in one .java file in this old project.

:) hi for doing this:we should set some property true:
change set buildToolsVersion

Look in the SDK Manager what is your highest Android SDK Build-tools version, and copy this version number in your project build.gradle file, in the android/buildToolsVersion property (for me, version was "18.1.1").

change gradle version:

Open up this file in your project:

<project>/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

Edit the distributionUrl line and set it too:

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-all.zip

Rebuild your project.

</project>

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }

how to see android plugin version and gradle version

File->Project Structure->Project pane->"Android plugin version".

Make sure you don't confuse the Gradle version with the Android plugin version. The former is the build system itself, the latter is the plugin to the build system that knows how to build Android projects

-----------
But when using the gradle plugin 0.7.+, Android Studio needs Gradle 1.8. So, you have to update Gradle from 1.7 to 1.8. This was done by going to Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files It forces Android Studio to give out Error message you see on http://tools.android.com/recent

after it i build a this site project successfully.
