I have fixed it by replacing com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0 to com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3

same problem

changed to 3.5.3 it dont work i checked other projects which were not showing that error on vscode but when i opened that file in other projects , that file also started showing error. its like when you deal with that build,gradle then only it shows error on import line of code.

i was using react native documentation to create apk
https://reactnative.dev/docs/signed-apk-android

before this recently installed vscode gradle plugin which was automatically notified by vscode to me
