Android Studio Build Immediate Fail

[xarzu]

This example code was taken straight from github. I am confident that this code is supposed to build but I suspect something in the compiler of Android Studio has changed, updated, or with a newer version of the Android operating system something needs to be updated in the source code of an app. This is because a build and/or gradle sync has this error immediately. Nothing major has changed in the code. I suspect this might be a common thing and I suspect someone must know something about this and how to fix it. Please advise.

I carefully looked into all this and I found that it must have something to do with Gradle version. Do you have any views or knowledge on how to updatge the grande and gradle plugin version?

Update your Gradle version to 7.3.3 or later.

How Do I download Android Gradle Plugin 7.4?

Android Studio is dealing with two kinds of Gradle as seen in the Project Structure:

I have 7.5.1 set up. I think this part works.

Luckily, I found on the developer.android.com site, some information regarding the relationship between thest two things. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin?buildsystem=ndk-build#updating-gradle

And, on this page, I found this table which tells me what version of the plug-in I need.

So, where do I find this?

You can specify the plugin version, 7.4.0, in either the File > Project Structure > Project menu in Android Studio, or the top-level build.gradle file.
If the specified plugin version has not been downloaded, Gradle downloads it the next time you build your project or click File > Sync Project with Gradle Files from the Android Studio menu bar.
