Android Studio - supplied javaHome is not a valid folder

Question

I decided to update my JDK to Java 8, and installed to the default location of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0 with a jre subdirectory.

I wasn't sure how Android Studio worked out the JDK location, so I decided to launch it and see. I got the following message:

Failed to complete Gradle execution.

Cause: Supplied javaHome is not a valid folder. You supplied: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

I updated my JAVA_HOME environment variable (both for system and user) to point to the new path, and tried adding it to my PATH variable as well, but every time I attempt to build in Android Studio I get the same message. The quoted path is nowhere to be found in my environment variables though, so where is it getting it from and how can I change it?

Thanks

Answer 1

The problem was my project's JDK location. From the Android Studio Project tool window, I right clicked on the root directory, selected 'module settings', and set the JDK location. Everything's fine now.
