Why is it displaying Jenkins build failure for Android app

Question

I am trying to set up Jenkins to work with my Android app. I get the source code and try to build it.

The build failed with the following message :

10:43:35.419 [ERROR] [org.gradle.internal.buildevents.BuildExceptionReporter] 
10:43:35.419 [ERROR] [org.gradle.internal.buildevents.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

A problem occurred configuring project ':mobile'.

Can anyone suggest me a solution ? I am unable to find anything useful online.Thanks

I think you should try this.

Try Uninstalling Java SDK Version 9 and install Java SDK Version 8 as it worked for me.

I have also uninstalled the SDK on OS X using the instructions below:

I hope it would resolve your query.
