Question

When I am creating a new project in Android Studio, and load old projects I got this

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/gradle/internal/impldep/com/google/common/collect/Lists**
**java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.internal.impldep.com.google.common.collect.Lists
ERROR: Unable to load class 'org.gradle.internal.impldep.com.google.common.collect.Lists'

this is my gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.0"

}

Answer 1

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"

You didn't add kotlin version. Try adding kotlin version instead of $kotlin_version.

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'

It also looks like it hasn't complete version name.

Then sync

Answer 2

This helped me when I downgraded the gradle plugin. Before the version as on the screen
