Android Studio generated files in java folder after upgrading to AGP 8 + Gradle 8.0 + Kotlin 1.8.20

Question

The problem is exactly as said in the title. Android Studio is putting Hilt and Glide generated files in regular java folder instead of java(generated) leading to a lot of generated files and packages next to source files.

Problem occurs only on 1.8 Kotlin version. Everything prior to this version works fine. I believe that the root of the problem is kapt, using annotationProcessor leads to the expected result

Answer 1

Go to the Android Studio Settings and open this path like so:

Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle

Change the Gradle JDK to the 11 version if it is 17 and press OK. Roll back any changes in files that define the JDK version like misc.xml.

Clean your project using Build menu in the toolbar and Clean Project item and rebuild your project. It is also a good idea to Invalidate Caches and restart before build.
