Error to run Android Studio

Question

I have installed Android Studio and I followed all steps described here

But when I start studio.sh I got an error with this message:

Answer 1

Check if your Java JDK is installed correctly

dpkg --list | grep -i jdk

If not, install JDK

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

After the installation you have to enable the jdk

update-alternatives --display java

Check if Ubuntu uses Java JDK 8

java -version

If all went right the answer should be something like this:

java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

Check what compiler is used

javac -version

It should show something like this

javac 1.8.0_91

Finally, add JAVA_HOME to the environment variable

Edit /etc/environment and add JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle to the end of the file

sudo nano /etc/environment

Append to the end of the file

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

You will then have to reboot, you can do this from the terminal with:

sudo reboot

In case you want to remove the JDK

sudo apt-get remove oracle-java8-installer
