invalid END header (bad central directory offset)

After creating the Fun Facts Project, I haven't been able to open it, as the Messages Gradle Sync says that "Gradle 'FunFacts' project refresh failed" and, below, indicates "Error:Cause: invalid END header (bad central directory offset)".

I googled and tried to find out how to solve it but I couldn't find anything. Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
