    Newest Android Studio does not support java 1.5 as a compilation target. Switch to 1.6 or later (newest recommendation is java 11). Here is how:

    android {
    compileSdkVersion 30

    compileOptions {
      sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
      targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }

    // For Kotlin projects
    kotlinOptions {
      jvmTarget = "11"
    }
}

    source

    Similar to Jakos, I found the following in my appbuild.gradle :

    compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_5
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_5
}

    This was probably left over from upgrading an eclipse project, once removed the project compiled.
