Android - I Can't Set JDK 1.8 in AndroidStudio - Stack Overflow

The document is a discussion thread from Stack Overflow about setting the JDK to version 1.8 in Android Studio. A user was unable to set the JDK path to 1.8, with Android Studio reverting to 1.7 instead. Suggestions included updating the PATH environment variable, using a newer version of Android Studio with Java 8 support, and uninstalling JDK 1.7 to force the selection of JDK 1.8. The issue was ultimately resolved by having the user delete the Java 1.7 folder, allowing Android Studio to select the JDK path.

Did you try to resolve the error shown in the bottom? Maybe it doesn't accept new settings if you do not
change this? – Bernhard 2 days ago

@Bernhard, No, this warning is useless, AS worked fine before i update buildTools to 24.0.1 – Werder 2

I think you need to update your path variable and add your jdk location to it . Studio must be
automatically getting path from your environment variable and replacing your path .

The JDK 1.8 does not seem to be fully supported by Android Studio because the Android
platform does not support Java 8 as it is currently.

You can see this link for more information. Is JDK 1.8 fully supported by Android Studio?

No, i use AndroidStudio 2.1.3, and i have error: Error:Buildtools 24.0.1 requires Java 1.8 or above. Current
JDK version is 1.7. – Werder 2 days ago

There might be an other issue then. Buildtools 24.0.1 should not require Java 8. Looks like preview version
of Android N has support for Java 8 developer.android.com/preview/j8-jack.html Could you add your gradle
files for debugging reference? – Miro 2 days ago

use Android Studio 2.2 preview 7 version this only support


java 8

Then you can use java 8 features :)

Uninstall Java JDK7 and install JDK8, or set JDK8 as default Java VM in
your OS.
