Answer 3

In my case, I was unable to Clean Project as well as Sync Gradle Files, So Eventually I was about to give up, but then I went to
AndroidStudioProjects/project_name/app/build/intermediates/apk_ide_redirect_file/debug in the file explorer and found a file named redirect
That file contained the following information

#- File Locator -
listingFile=../../apk/debug/output-metadata.json

From here, I tried to locate the path mentioned in this file and I was unable to find it
So I searched output-metadata in the file explorer from AndroidStudioProjects/project_name and I found a bunch of output-metadata files, I copied the first one and pasted it in the mentioned location, and then everything worked perfectly

Now I don't know wether this is the right way to solve this or not, but it worked...
Hope it helps you...

Answer 4

Workaround: if you encounter this error generating an APK, first clean the project (Build -> Clean project)

Answer 5

1. Open your project.
2. If your project files are not loaded and instead you see: 'Loading...' cancel Sync Gradle by clicking on X at the bottom, this should show your files back.
3. Clean Project: Build -> Clean Project
4. Rebuild Project: Build -> Rebuild Project
