Answer 1

I had same problem just like you and I did all of things that you've done and here is my solution. maybe problem is your targetSDKversion in gradle. if it is 28.0.0 you can change it to 27.1.1 and sync your project with gradle files.

this can help you to solve it.

Answer 2

Change something in your app module build.gradle file, for example, comment a line, then click File and then Sync Project with Gradle Files.
