This is because your build.gradle file doesn't have a wrapper task. Add this code to build.gradle:

task wrapper(type: Wrapper){
   gradleVersion = '7.2'
}

You can replace 7.2 with the gradle version you want, then run gradle wrapper task.

maybe your project's structure is :


yourProjectDir:  
 --> app:  
    --> build.gradle  
 --> otherModule1:  
 --> otherModule2:  
 --> build.gradle  

The correct way to open the project is :
Click build.gradle in the root directory 'yourProjectDir', not build.gradle in the 'app' dir.

Unlink unnecessary Gradle project and it will be fixed.

For Kotlin: Here's the correct way to define the wrapper task in your build.gradle.kts file:

tasks.register<Wrapper>("wrapper") {
   gradleVersion = "5.6.4"
}

In this Kotlin DSL code, use the register function to create a new task of type Wrapper and configure its properties within the lambda block.

Note: Make sure to replace '5.6.4' with the desired version of Gradle that you want to use for your project.

If the "unlink" option does not exist in your Gradle settings, you can manually unlink the "app" project by removing its entry from the root/.idea/gradle.xml configuration file.

**Task 'wrapper' not found in project ':app'.

  • Try: Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --scan to get full insights.
