Error:Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repositoryv2.AndroidSdkHandler

Question

I want to build this project with Android Studio at launching, but take a error. Stacktrace is here

Answer 1

JAVA 9 has forcefully taken over the JAVA_HOME to itself.

after installing java9 you will find

# java -version
java version "9.0.1"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)

So instead of uninstalling java 9 let us point the JAVA_HOME back to java 8

First find out the Android studio embeded JRE location

and add an entry in ~./bash_profile at last

export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"

# source ~/.bash_profile
# java -version
java version "1.8.0_151"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)
