Android Studio JDK location changes back to 1.7 every time it is updated to 1.8 path

Question

I recently installed jdk 1.8 u92 after Android Studio said it is needed for api24 builds. However, I\'ve run into this issue now.

I looked at some other solutions an

Answer 1

follow these steps:(the steps are for windows; reach the same directories in case of other operating systems)

Step 1: Press "Win + R", type in "%userprofile%" and press enter.

Step 2: Go to the Android Studio folder which will be in the following format - ".AndroidStudio2.2" (the version may vary)

Step 3: Go to the "config\options" folder.

Step 4: Make a copy of jdk.table.xml at desktop and Delete jdk.table.xml . (Do it while the android studio is still running)

Step 5: In android Studio -Go to "File-> Project Structure" and select the correct jdk path.

IF STEP 4 and STEP 5 do not solve the problem, follow these steps::

Step 4': Open jdk.table.xml in notepad.

Step 5': Find all the words including jdk version - for eg. find "1.8.0_45"

Step 6': Replace the words found; with your current jdk version . For eg. change "1.8.0_45" to "1.8.0_111" (make sure you replace all the fields containing the version number)

Step 7': Save the jdk.table.xml file

Step 8': Restart android studio.

This will definitely solve the issue.

PS: JDK should be installed and the path should be set.
