Android Studio error after ./studio.sh

Question

After ./studio.sh in a terminal I get this error "tools.jar is not in android studio classpath Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE".

I Google it and this is what everybody says: "you need to set your environment variable to JDK path instead of JRE"

I try this two commands

export PATH=${JDK_HOME}:/etc/java-7-openjdk

export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}:/etc/java-7-openjdk

And execute again ./studio.sh and I get the same error

My OS is Linux Mint 14

Answer 1

I solved the problem combining Jerome's and Jarod's answer:

1. Install JDK -- sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
2. Environment Variable -- sudo nano /etc/environment adding the following line:
3. JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
4. Reboot, and Android Studio starts up. (I had added also a link to studio.sh to the main menu).

Also I just found https://stackoverflow.com/a/17827697/2533809 which seems to have a nice write-up, pretty much the same answer.

Answer 2

I have figured it out. You need to install openjdk-jdk. Opensjdk-jre is not enough. So in terminal all you need to do is write sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk then press yes. Open the android studio bin folder, double click on studio.sh, open in terminal, press enter, and then android studio should work.

Here's how I solved the same problem in my system: Thanks for @user2533809

$sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
$ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION  bin  docs  include  jre  lib  man  THIRD_PARTY_README
$export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
$./studio.sh
