Can't build project, Gradle output tells Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 1 path $

Question

I've just opened my project and I couldn't build it. Here is my Gradle console output:

18:12:07.274 [ERROR] [org.gradle.internal.buildevents.BuildExceptionReporter] 
18:12:07.274 [ERROR] [org.gradle.internal.buildevents.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Everything worked well when I worked on it yesterda. What should I do? Thanks in advance!

start internet connection on your pc and `clean` and then `Rebuild` the project, I have the same one it ll work like this — Nikunj Paradva, Mar 15 '18 at 16:31

What JSON file is giving the error? The file might have been corrupted.

If it is the JSON file provided by Firebase or Crashlytics or some other library, you can re-download and replace the file after cleaning your project..
