How to get rid of Incremental annotation processing requested warning?

Question

I have just started using android development and trying to use Room library. Since yesterday I am facing this warning message

w: [kapt] Incremental annotation processing requested, but support is disabled because the following processors are not incremental: androidx.lifecycle.LifecycleProcessor (NON_INCREMENTAL), androidx.room.RoomProcessor (NON_INCREMENTAL).

I have tried to research and fix but unable to avoid this error here is my grale.build file. please suggest/advice what I am doing wrong.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

Just add this line to you gradle.properties:

kapt.incremental.apt=true
