My application was working perfectly fine, I dont know what happened all of a sudden the build.gradle throw an error stating Gradle sync failed, build file '...\build.gradle' should not contain a package statement, the thing is I checked my other apps as well and they had the same package com.example.myapplication;

here is my build.gradle(project:FaceRec);

package com.example.myapplication;

import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.E;

and here is the build.gradle with in the app

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
    implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
    implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.4.0'
    implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.4.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.2.0'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'
    implementation project(path: ':openCVLibrary347')

    dependencies {
        api 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.8.+'
    }

}

if any further clarification is needed please let me know.

Thanks you very much in advance.

refer to this Android Studio java file gets corrupted

Simply delete your caches should mostly solve your problem.

C:\Users\cc.AndroidStudio3.2\system\caches

  • I have tried Invalidating Caches and Restart, also removed the content of caches, yet the problem persists. thanks. – Trajox Sep 20 '19 at 09:22
  • try viewing your code using notepad via file explorer. if your code is correct try transferring the your project folder anywhere and open it again. – L2_Paver Sep 20 '19 at 09:30

Thanks L2_Paver for the guide. I noticed that the build.gradle(project:FaceRec) is having contents that does not make sense, I dont know where and how it was there, so I changed the whole code and pasted an empty project's gradle and added some of the references, now with the replaced code as below the application started to work fine.

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

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'

        // 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
}
