        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
         delete rootProject.buildDir
     }

Application level build.gradle

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    android {
        compileSdkVersion 27
        defaultConfig {
            applicationId "com.abc"
            minSdkVersion 15

                javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
            }
        }
        buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            }
        }

        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
            targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
        androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'

        implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.+'

        // Multidex
        implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.+'

    }

This is mistake

Error: execution completed for task ': app: transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'. com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: com.android.tools.r8.errors.CompilationError: Program type already present: android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle $ DelegateProvider

• invalidate catch and restart from the file menu.

and finally, if the problem persists, try this

\
.idea
.gradle
app\build
