tools.jar seems to be not in Android Studio classpath on Windows 8

Question

I installed Android Studio but it was giving me error that I need to install JDK but JDK was already installed. Then I realized it is asking to install 64bit version of JDK.

Answer 1

I add a similar problem on Linux. In my case my JAVA_HOME env was pointing to the JRE HOME instead of the JDK HOME.

On my linux system I had done:

sabayon ~ # eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1]   icedtea-bin-8 
[2]   oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 
[3]   oracle-jre-bin-1.8  system-vm

sabayon ~ # eselect java-vm set system 2

And then Android Studio started like a charm. Download and install the SDK.
