Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8

把Gradle插件版本更新到7.0.2之后编译失败，出现如下错误：

A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
   > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.
     You can try some of the following options:
       - changing the IDE settings.
       - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
       - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

解决思路来自stackoverflow

用终端进入项目所在位置，找到gradlew并执行如下命令

$ ./gradlew --version

会输出类似这样的信息，我们需要关注的是JVM版本

Welcome to Gradle 7.0.2!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - File system watching enabled by default
 - Support for running with and building Java 16 projects
 - Native support for Apple Silicon processors
 - Dependency catalog feature preview
