I am getting Gradle error every time when I am creating a new project in AndroidStudio? I have installed and reinstalled android studio on mac but the error still appearing and getting the same error. Below my errors from Logcat.

Error:(31, 27) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'paddingStart' with value '?attr/listPreferredItemPaddingStart'). Error:(32, 25) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'paddingEnd' with value '?attr/listPreferredItemPaddingEnd').

It seems ?attr/listPreferredItemPaddingEnd has been removed from the API 26. Try using some other value for the paddingStart and paddingEnd attributes inside select_dialog_item_material.xml file of yours.
