Running Gradle Build - Failed When i tried to run ionic capacitor run android -l --external

Question

so before i just changed my device, my ionic project working just fine when i tried to run live reload. i think i have installed all the same version of jdk and node js as my old device.

and now, i've been getting this error when i tried to run ionic cap run android -l --external

i've been looking for answers, and mostly they told me to change this line of code

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

but it just gave me another error. i tried to change it to some other versions. but still, it didnt work.

I expected my ionic app will be able to run livereload.

I resolved this problem by adding this line in my gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M --add-exports=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.code=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.unsupported/sun.misc=ALL-UNNAMED
