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

The error is self explanatory, you need to set your environment variable to JDK path instead of JRE here is it

JDK_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07

check the path for linux

and here is possible duplicate Android Studio not working

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

The problem is a bug on Fedora 20. The bug is very odd: if I have Google Talk plugin installed then Eclipse crashes (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334466). It's crazy for me. I thought that was Java version and with Java 6 my eclipse was still crashing. To solve this I should use gnome/GTK instead KDE. Now it works "well" (in gnome environment). Thanks for all answers.

Answer 4

I ran into this issue when I was referencing

 [drive]:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65 

in my JAVA_HOME environment var instead of the Android Studio recommended

[drive]:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79. 

I am using the x64 version of the JDK on Windows 10 Pro.

From the Android Studio installation instructions.

Before you set up Android Studio, be sure you have installed JDK 6 or higher (the JRE alone is not sufficient)—JDK 7 is required when developing for Android 5.0 and higher. To check if you have JDK installed (and which version), open a terminal and type javac -version. If the JDK is not available or the version is lower than version 6, download the Java SE Development Kit 7

Answer 5

This is caused by having JAVA JRE installed as opposed to JAVA JDK.

The solution is simple:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Answer 6

I had the same problem on a new installed Linux Mint 16. To fix this you just need to type command

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

And that's it. You even do not need to add repositiries or creating JAVA_HOME in your environment.
