I am developing some android app in Android Studio 3.5.2. It works okay, without any issues.
But when I tried to build it at another PC it fails.
Gradle says:
Cause: path may not be null or empty string. path='null'
Detailed error info:
org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: path may not be null or empty string. path='null'

P.S. I read this error stack-trace, but still I am not able to resolve the issue as well as I don't understand its cause.
SOLVED:
I used this command to find out the reason:
gradlew assembleDebug --info
First of all I found out that gradle could not compile because my JAVA_HOME variable was not set. Furthermore i installed java 13 which was not compatible with my gradle and i need to install also java 11.
After that i was able to compile and run my project.
