Be sure to always read the error message carefully, because it will likely tell you what is wrong and how you can fix it!
In this case, the error is telling you that you don't have the correct version of Java installed on your system. Gradle, which React Native uses to create a native Android build, requires Java 11 to be installed on your system, whereas you only have version 1.8.
This means you need to install an up-to-date JDK, which you can do by following the React Native Environment Setup instructions for Android for your specific operation system.

I wanna start and install my application on Android emulator, but this error always happen when I try. This says something is missing, but I don't know what. I didn't find the same problem as mine elsewhere on the internet

I already got, if you have the same problem. Do you need install all dependencies again (Android Studio, React and Java). After that, create a project with npx react-native init Project, and finish!

i tried android.enableAapt2=false in gradle.properties of react-native-image-picker but no gain...same error
plz help to resolve it!

Be sure to follow the instructions of the library, after running yarn add react-native-photo-upload
, you need to make sure to link the package and build the project again:
react-native link react-native-image-picker
react-native link react-native-image-resizer
react-native link react-native-fs
After that, you can go to yourProject/android/settings.gradle and verify if all modules have been added. It may look like:
include ':module-name'
project(':module-name').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,
'../node_modules/module-name/android')
You may also go to yourProject/android/app/build.gradle to check if the modules are present on the dependencies:
dependencies {
compile project(':module-name')
}

Error while installing and implementing react native device info

I am trying to integrate react-native-device-info to my project and when I install the module and link it an error comes up like this
```
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:preDebugBuild'.

```
And when I configure the project manually same error comes up.But when I unlink react native device info, the project runs well.

Add this block in your app/build.gradle file below buildTypes{} block and run the app again
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1'
}
}
