This is not a LibGDX issue. Gradle 5 is incompatible with Java 13. You either need to update Gradle (the wrapped version in your project) to Gradle 6 or later, or you need to use a lower version of the JRE.
To update the wrapped gradle, go to gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper-properties
in your project and update the version number. I’m using 6.1.1.

If you have an older LibGDX project, you might have to modify the build.gradle
file in the android
module to be compatible with Gradle 6. You can copy-paste to replace the copyAndroidNatives
task with the one here.
