Solution
You need to update your kotlin gradle plugin version to any latest in gradle (project), you can probably use 1.5.10. The version you have used is 1.1.15, and its not a valid version.
- Kotlin-related errors:
- “Type mismatch” error: This occurs when you try to assign a value of one type to a variable of another incompatible type. Make sure the types match or perform appropriate type conversions.
- “Null pointer exception” (NPE): This error indicates that you’re trying to access or call a method on a null object reference. Ensure that the object is properly initialized before accessing its properties or methods.
- “Unresolved reference” error: This typically means that you’re referring to a variable, function, or class that hasn’t been declared or imported. Check for typos in the name or ensure the necessary imports are present.
- Emulator-related errors:
- “Emulator: emulator: ERROR: GPU emulation is disabled”: This error occurs when the emulator cannot enable GPU acceleration. Ensure that your system’s graphics drivers are up to date and that your computer’s hardware supports GPU acceleration.
- “Emulator: Process finished with exit code X”: This error message indicates that the emulator terminated unexpectedly with a specific exit code. The exit code can provide more information about the cause of the error. Look for additional error messages or logs to identify the underlying issue.
