Error to run Android Studio

Question

Check if your Java JDK is installed correctly

dpkg --list | grep -i jdk

If not, install JDK

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

After the installation you have to enable the jdk

update-alternatives --display java

Check if Ubuntu uses Java JDK 8

java -version

If all went right the answer should be something like this:

java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

Check what compiler is used

javac -version

It should show something like this

javac 1.8.0_91

Finally, add JAVA_HOME to the environment variable

Edit /etc/environment and add JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle to the end of the file

sudo nano /etc/environment

Append to the end of the file

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

You will then have to reboot, you can do this from the terminal with:

sudo reboot

In case you want to remove the JDK

sudo apt-get remove oracle-java8-installer

 sudo apt-get install default-jdk

That's all in ubuntu 11

This is caused by having JAVA JRE installed as opposed to JAVA JDK.

The solution is simple:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

The error is self explanatory, you need to set your environment variable to JDK path instead of JRE here is it

JDK_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07

check the path for linux

and here is possible duplicate Android Studio not working

Widows 7 64 bit.

1. JAVA_HOME point to my JRE (NOT JDK) directory
2. Coping of tools.jar from JDK\lib directory to ANDROIDSTUDIO\lib directory solve the problem

in OpenSuSE 13.1 and some 13.2 versions you also need to:

• install java-1_7_0-openjdk-devel package
• change the JAVA_HOME path when starting the studio:

For x86: JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0/ sh studio.sh

For x64: JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0/ sh studio.sh
