How to fix the ''module java.base does not "opens java.io" to unnamed module '' error in Android Studio?

Issue

Background

1. I started my first project in android studio to get familiar with Android programming.
2. I am following this tutorial, in which

• I created a new project Empty Activity, without any change
• It is supposed to simulate a simple app that shows "Hello World" message

Problem Description But every time I try to run and build (I want to emulator as of now), I get the following error message.

Unable to make field private final java.lang.String java.io.File.path accessible:
Unable to make field private final java.lang.String java.io.File.path
accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.io" to unnamed module @42760a00

Here is my config set-up:

1. Android Gradle plugin version: 4.2.1
2. Gradle Version: 7.0.1 (changed to fix another issue I had while syncing the Gradle ("Gradle sync failed: Unsupported class file major version 60") and based discussion on this forum as quoted below)

Andrey Dernov commented 14 Apr 2021 00:18 Please use Gradle 7.0 or JDK less than 16 version for importgin and building the project (Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle | Gradle JVM option).

3. JDK: 16.0.1

Any suggestion or idea?

Solution

I found this discussion kind of related to my question. But could not figure out how to pass JVM parameters in Android studio.

But, the error is gone after replacing JDK 16 by JDK 15.
