Hello everyone, I recently decided to start learning more about coding and decided android programming was the way to go. Therefore I decided to start with the basics on the developer.android <https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html> course.
After downloading the SDK I proceeded to follow the steps, but sadly got stuck on the second build (end of the Build a simple User Interface <https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html>) when I try to run it on the emulator the gradle console is throwing back the following error and the build fails to emulate properly. error: reached end of file while parsing } ^ 1 error :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details. * Try: Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. * Exception is: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. at

specific to this. Please be aware I'm not a programmer, and I'm quite new to it, have some very basic knowledge of HTML5 and CSS. I'll appreciate if somebody could help me with this as I'm very interested in learning android development. Wish you all a terrific day!
