Answer 1

well, i think you should show your build.gradle , otherwise no one can help you.

my build.gradle :

plugins {
    id "com.github.spotbugs" version "4.6.0"
}


// To generate an HTML report instead of XML
spotbugsMain {
    reports {
        xml.enabled = false
        html.enabled = true
    }
}
