And here is my app gradle file :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.app.test"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

Here is the Main gradle file :

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.21'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Any Help will be appreciate.

In running on windows 10 with avast, I received no notification but deactivating the antivirus solved the problem. I later allowed the modification of R.txt in avast and this solved my problem. – DMonkey Dec 16 '20 at 13:17
God thanks, I had the same problem (with a cordova project) and I solved this by disabling Avast on my computer! – Fabrizio Apuzzo Dec 17 '20 at 09:57
Disabling the antivirus (AVG in my case) resolved this for me as well. Odd. – Adjwilley Dec 31 '20 at 15:46
I can confirm that even though Avast doesn't show anything or any notification, disabling it makes the code works. You can disable Avast quickly by right-clicking the Avast icon on the tray system -> Avast Shield control -> Disable for ... minutes. – ComNguoi Feb 02 '23 at 21:23

I encountered the same error. Check for updates coming to Android studio. After I updated the problem was fixed.

Try to move your project in another disk like D: or C: (System). I try to move my project from my C: disk to D: disk and run it again, my project run properly.

There are a couple of reasons for getting this error. Try the following steps to resolve the same,

Disable the antivirus temporarily while using Android studio.
Delete all of the builds, debug and release directories.

projectFolder\build, projectFolder\debug*, projectFolder\release*, projectFolder\app\build, projectFolder\app\build\debug*, projectFolder\app\build\release*
Move the project folder to another place where the path length is shortended. Eg: D:\Vishnu\Experiments\AndroidStudio\SampleApp\test to D:\Vishnu\test
