Answer 1

if your project is open in android studio, follow these simple steps as seen in the below screenshot

1. click on the project tab at the top - left of your android studio app.

2. Down your project structure, click on Gradle Scripts. In the drop down, you will see two build.gradle files

3. Open the build.gradle with (Module:Application_Name.app)

4. Inside the build.gradle file opened, make sure the it contains the following at the top.

   plugins { id 'com.android.application'}

5. Then build your application.

if you still receive this error, then open the other build.gradle file with (Project:Application_Name)

6. check for plugin section and paste this below

   plugins {

   id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.2' apply false

   id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.2' apply false

   }

7. Build your application.

if you dont find any of these file, it means you need to create the build.gradle. but as a beginner, is better to delete the project and create it again.

please make sure your internet is active to sync your gradle
