Android studio not installing even if JDK 8 is installed

Question

I just downloaded Google's new android studio bundle(x64 for Windows) and also installed JDK8 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25) (x64 version).

But on the android studio setup it does not detect JDK and asks to locate its path. I located its path but still it says it is not valid.

I tried declaring new Environment variables (both system and User) but still I get same error.

I also tried in cmd, and it says that java & JDK is installed.

After that I reinstalled JDK 8 for windows x64 from Oracle. But no changes in android studio...

Please Help. !

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I discovered that it was caused because I installed the JDK while the Android Studio installer was still opened and at the prompt to load the location of the JDK. Closing the Android installer and then reloading it after the JDK installation had completed and was closed out, solved the installation problem for me.

Answer 2

In my case, I am using java8 and based on Doc I just had to add the following:

 implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common-java8:$lifecycle_version"

Answer 3

While running Java 6 something I tried to install Android Studio. Android Studio did not find Java 7 or Java 8, so it asked me to install at least Java 7 and gave a link to Java 7. While the original instance of Android Studio Installer was still alive, it would not find Java 7 or 8. killing and restarting Android Studio Installer worked just fine. So install Java and restart the installer.
