I am using classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3', Room 2.2.3, Dagger 2.26 and AS 3.5.3. When I am building my project I get this error

It seems that it is known issue with data binding and room mismatch from what I read online but the solution of forcing a particular version of antlr4 doesn't work for me.

When forcing a version of antlr4 like so

configurations.all() {
resolutionStrategy.force "org.antlr:antlr4-runtime:4.5.3"
resolutionStrategy.force "org.antlr:antlr4-tool:4.5.3"
}
I can;'t compile Room with error Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.antlr.v4.runtime.CharStreams

when forcing it to 4.7.1 it does nothing. Same error with version mismatch. Downgrading Room does nothing.
