Android Studio - Error:Uncaught translation error:

Question

I have just set up a new computer with Android Studio and imported my project from bitbucket.

Problem is that I am now getting this error when trying to build the project:

BUILD FAILED

To investigate, I have created the Camera2Basic sample project that comes with Android Studio and that builds fine, so maybe this is a problem with a setting within my project rather than a general configuration/setup problem?

What I've already tried (with no luck):

1. Added org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m to my gradle.properties file.
2. Setting minifyEnabled false in my app build.gradle file (in the release and in the debug blocks).
3. This suggestion.
4. File > Invalidate Cahces / Restart...

NB - Similar question here - but with a different error number and, currently, no answers.

Update:

Having removed a third party library (nxpnfclib.jar) from my app, my project now builds and runs fine. But if I then try re-adding the jar, the problem comes back.

Update #2:

I have created one of the sample Android Studio projects (Camera2Basic) and added the nxpnfclib.jar library. The same problem occurs. So this is clearly a problem with the nxpnfclib.jar library. (I have, today, emailed NXP about this latest issue with their library, so I will update this page with their solution - unless they update it, of course.)

I am using:

• Windows 7 (64-bit)
• Android Studio v2.1.3 (as a fresh install)
• JDK 1.8.0_102
• Gradle version 2.14.1
• Android plugin version 2.1.3

Answer 1

This what I did to fix in my scenario:

At the project level on android studio updated the build.gradle like this:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.31
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
}

Then on the gradle-wrapper.properties this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip
