First implement multidex into your project then restart android studio and run your app.
If still you face this issue, then you need to downgrade your android studio's stable version 3.5.3

Below Android Studio 3.5 disable Instant run:

Android Studio --> File --> Setting --> Build, execution, deploy --> Instant run.

Issue: Click Me , Click Me

Hope this mey help you

I'm finding solution!! OK downgrade Android Studio then did you set your old gradle version? – InsaneCat Feb 27 '20 at 11:00
Not sure, but I think that's the problem – Hossein Kurd Feb 28 '20 at 15:39
For me, I didn't need to downgrade anything. If you use `realm` be sure to update it to the last version. It's incompatible with gradle plugin version `3.6.0`. – Mario Codes Jul 03 '20 at 10:44

First Take a backup of your project after Migrate your project in AndroidX

Goto Toolbar into Refactor
Goto bottom option and select to Migrate to androidX

And migrate it. Check if the error still happens.
