Android Studio: Build failed with every project

Question

I have just started to use android studio, so I don't have much experience, and I'm getting some errors when I try to run any project, even the most simple one like Hello World. I've been trying to find the cause but I can't find it. The errors I get is this:

    * What went wrong:

Can anyone give some advise about my problem

Hello Mordakay, did you find solution for that. I'm having the same issue :| — LukaszTaraszka, Aug 20 '20 at 14:17

I had the same problem. I was trying to add aar file to my project according to producent's user manual. Unfortunately gradle was throwing this error and I couldn't find the solution.

This, what I've done to make it running, was adding reference by the Android Studio Wizard.

Go to File -> ProjectStructure. Click on Modules on left side, then + icon in Modules section. Choose Import .JAR/.AAR Package. Android Studio will create some gradle files and directory for your aar file. Then go to Dependencies (in Project Structure window, right below Modules on the left side) and click on your master project (probably app), then in Declared Dependencies (it's window on the right side) click on + icon and add your AAR file to the master project.

The Android Studio structure for importing AAR file is not the same like declared by software producer (implementation fileTree(include: ['xxx.aar'], dir: 'libs') but is working.
