Answer 1

you can try few options to fix this

01) download 2.3 version of the IDE and install separately. create a new project and copy your project files (java/resources) to the new project.

you may receive a prompt to also update Gradle to the latest available version. You can choose to accept the update or manually specify a version based on your project's build requirements.

02)check out the project to new location and import it again to AS

03) delete your .idea/-*.iml files/folder and restart the AS

04) Try upgrading the gradle version to latest and Android gradle plugin to latest

You can specify the Android plugin for Gradle version in either the File > Project Structure > Project menu in Android Studio, or the top-level build.gradle file. The plugin version applies to all modules built in that Android Studio project. The following example sets the Android plugin for Gradle to version 2.3.3 from the build.gradle file:

buildscript {
  ...
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
  }
}

You can specify the Gradle version in either the File > Project Structure > Project menu in Android Studio, or by editing the Gradle distribution reference in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file. The following example sets the Gradle version to 3.3 in the gradle-wrapper.properties file.
