I have been using android studio to develop for an OculusGO. It has been working fine, but now suddenly my android studio project refuses to build, and I just get the error message:
Process 'command 'python'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
I did not do anything for this error message to suddenly start appearing. What is causing this problem and how can I fix it? Android studio version 3.2.1.
edit:
the error happens in the build stage 'Execute buildSdkLibs'. Full error log:

TLDR
Change the gradle wrapper version to 4.7 or higher, by changing the file gradle-wrapper.properties in ovr_sdk_mobile_***/gradle/wrapper
Details
When building a project that uses the Oculus VR Api, it runs VrApp.gradle, which in turn runs a python script. This python script fails, and this is where the error comes from. The python script that is run is bin/scripts/ovrbuild_sklibs.py, which in turn runs ovrbuild.py, which in turn seems to run a different gradle file. Anyway, the error output that is interesting for us is the err in the call function in ovrbuild.py. The print statement is swallowed by android studio, so either you would have to run gradle from the command line somehow (I guess, but I don't know gradle very well), but I just saved the error to file by editing the python script. The error message is
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Could not determine java version from '11.0.2'.
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org
This seems to be a well known error, that comes from the fact that somewhere between java 9 and 11, the format of java -version changed (see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/22487), and gradle was unable to detect it for a while. However, it was patched in version 4.7, so for me the solution was to change the gradle wrapper version to a higher version (NOT the gradle version in android studio, but the one specified in gradle-wrapper.properties). I have no idea why this error suddenly appeared for me, but probably my java version must somehow have updated without me noticing.
edit: as comments point out, change to 4.8 or higher, I wrote 4.7 because that is what they said in the online source, but perhaps it was not patched in 4.7000 but some other version 4.7xxx
