First, let me introduce myself. I am a Computer Science and Engineering student. In this Lockdown period, I decided to learn Android Development. But with time, I used to get errors in Android Studio.

Yesterday, when I was learning about multiple screen apps and I decided to import an app’s code from Github, I got a “Gradle Sync” error when I imported the code.
