Error:Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repositoryv2.AndroidSdkHandler

Question

I want to build this project with Android Studio at launching, but take a error. Stacktrace is here

Answer 1

This problem occurs when there are multiple JDKs installed in your system, I had the same issue as I had mistakenly installed oracle-jdk-9 and Android studio requires oracle-jdk-8

If you are using Ubuntu you can install jdk-8 from this question.

So, Make following changes as shown below:

Press ctrl+shift+alt+s that will open project structure which can also be opened from

File -> Project Structure

And then change JDK Location where you may have installed JDK 8

Answer 2

this because your classpath build tools in build.gradle root project is deprecated update like this for new android studio 3.2.0

buildscript {
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha14'
}

and after that update your minimum sdk and build tools to latest and no problem again
