Answer 1

Try disabling the "Only sync active variant" option and rebuilding. It worked for me.

EDIT:
This address is for Android Studio with newer versions
Setting > Experimental > Only sync the active variant

Answer 2

If you using Android Studio 4.0 or up and having Errors like below

    Cause: invalid type code: 17
    Cause: invalid type code: fe
    Cause: invalid type code: 13
Cause: invalid type code: 00

Or

Its says that something wrong with JDK then Follow below steps to resolve the error.

Step 1: First delete .gradle and .idea folder from project directory and restart Android Studio. Make sure it's gone from recycle bin.

Step 2: Go to Project Structure

Step 3: Select SDK Location from the left panel on Project Structure window.

Step 4: Go to JDK Location and click on down arrow then select the jre instead of jdk

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre

And it will Solve the errors. Rebuild the project

Note: jre come with the android studio 4 installation not sure about the older version.

This solution work for me.

Answer 3

This kind of error mostly happens for not using embedded JDK, I face this error in my Android studio 4.0.1 whenever I point my JDK location to "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home"(This is my mac location for JDK, for window it might be different).

I follow the below steps to solve it.

• Go to File -> Project Structure.

• On the left side, click on SDK Location and go to JDK Location.

• Change it to the Embedded JDK that comes with Android Studio.

• Click on OK.
