ERROR: Cannot add task 'clean' as a task with that name already exists

You have this task defined in your project-level build.gradle
(as posted in your comments):
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
Android Studio's Gradle wrapper already has a clean
task defined, so there's no need to re-define it. Just delete that task from your project-level build.gradle
file.

I am facing a problem while building from Gradle. This is the error which I am facing:
ERROR: Cannot add task 'clean' as a task with that name already exists.
Here is my Gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'android { compileSdkVersion 28 buildToolsVersion "25.0.1" defaultConfig { applicationId "net.accedegh.retrofitlibrary" minSdkVersion 17 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } }dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations' }) //noinspection GradleCompatible implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0" implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0' implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0' implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.4.0' implementation 'com.github.jd-alexander:LikeButton:0.2.0' implementation'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'compile 'com.github.varunest:sparkbutton:1.0.3' implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0' androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'}
Top-level
build.gradle
file// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { repositories { jcenter() google() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2' // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } } allprojects { repositories { maven { url 'maven.google.com' name 'Google' } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir } }
Please give me the solution if anyone knows.
