The error massage does not seem to directly related to the code... need more information

• What is you AndroidStudio version? latest?
• What is the target platform? e.g. API level 27?
• Is it the code comes from current HEAD of master branch?
• Did you try a stable release? e.g. git checkout v1.6.9

Also make sure Android Studio works in general.

Also reproducible with ./gradlew assembleDebug. Multiple attempts required to build the apk.

First entry in first error batch is Could not resolve org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.3-2.
First entry in second error batch is Could not download kotlin-reflect.jar (org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:1.1.3-2).
Third time is a charm, fortunately.

I can not reproduce the bug per your description (with ./gradlew assembleDebug). BTW, I'm using gradle 5.1.1, and had few local changes to the code.
I didn't use kotlin anywhere in the project. No idea what could be the cause.
