Android Studio: How to fix error "java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)"

Posted by AndnixSH

I try to work with old project that hasn’t been updated years ago. I got an exception without any explanation.

Code:

A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

The error is caused by gradle. Most of the answers I found didn’t help, because whatever I do, it always fails. After hours and hours, I finally found a fix by myself. Change gradle version to latest verison

Assuming you know the latest version of gradle version, open build.gradle (NOT in /app/build.gradle) and change com.android.tools.build:gradle to latest version in the dependencies.
Example:

Code:

'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0'

to

Code:

'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2'

(4.1.2 as of March 2021)

Now Sync, if asked

You will now get another error about Gradle version, just click the blue text Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project.

You should be good to go \o/

VMOS Pro was protected so I wasn’t able to modify/crack APK. Instead, I made a custom ROM as a zip file for VMOS Pro that includes permanent root and Xposed, all done on my Android phone because zipping on Windows or Linux caused corruption on the ROM file. You don’t need to use modded APK at all YOU CANNOT INSTALL ANY OTHER ROMS SUCH AS SAMSUNG, HUAWEI, ETC THAT ARE NOT MADE FOR VMOS. VMOS ROM IMPORTING IS FOR VMOS ROM ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT BE DUMB! FOR EMULATOR USERS: DO NOT TRY TO RUN VMOS IN EMULATORS, ALL VM APPS ARE NEVER SUPPORTED AND WILL SUBJECT TO CRASH. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DUMB WAY TO DO IT. INSTEAD, INSTALL OTHER EMULATORS LISTED HERE: https://www.andnixsh.com/2018/10/free-android-emulator-collections.html Download VMOS Pro app English and Chinese version has been combined into one APK, so you will get same version if you downloaded from EN or CN website Global (EN) website: https://www.vmos.com/ Chinese website: http://www.vmos.cn/product_center_vmospro.htm Download c
