Answer 1

If you are using Ubuntu, you could do the following, too:

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

That worked for me.

For more information about installing java/javac using update-alternatives, please refer to: How do I make java default to a manually installed JRE/JDK?

Answer 2

I got solution of this issue,

It mean to say that I have older version of SDK, as per new setup it need at-least SDK-1.8 to get run build of the application.

For that I downloaded new version of SDK from here.
And then updated my SDK version using this article.

After that when I run this command-

ionic run android 

It worked for me.
