Cannot open android project in android studio

[GNUGradyn]

Description

Hello. Upon opening a freshly generated library project in android studio there are a couple issues. I created a library with the options specified in "Selected Options" and ran yarn in the new project. I then attempted to open the android folder within the new library in android studio to work on the native side of things. The first problem you'll encounter is this error when it tries to gradle sync

Could not create task ':generateDebugRFile'.
Cannot use @TaskAction annotation on method IncrementalTask.taskAction$gradle_core() because interface org.gradle.api.tasks.incremental.IncrementalTaskInputs is not a valid parameter to an action method.

This is because the AGP version and gradle version are not paired. Go ahead and downgrade gradle to 7.3.3 to get past this. You can also upgrade both if you prefer that route but the result is the same.

Regardless which route you took to get here you will be looking at a screen like this when you open a java file

The IDE cannot find anything, even built in things like NonNull.

It says the android SDK is not found but it is at c:\Android\Sdk which the IDE is aware of so ignore that bit

As mentioned in the generated CONTRIBUTING.md in your project, you need to open the example/android folder in Android Studio.

Thanks. Might want to make some mention of this in this repos readme, or at least some mention of the fact directions are in the generated CONTRIBUTING.md
