Visual Studio Code App Center: Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8

I used Visual Studio Code App Center for Building my android apps, It was ok after but now build failed with below exception. How can I fix this issue?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/runner/work/1/s/app/build.gradle' line: 1

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
   > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.
     You can try some of the following options:
       - changing the IDE settings.
       - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
       - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

* 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.
