Flutter unable to locate Java Runtime after updating Android Studio?

Question

I updated android studio to Electric El, but after updating, it is unable to find Java Runtime.

Flutter doctor gives this error and the code does not compile.

In your zshrc file add.

export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home

Restart the android studio. Flutter doctor will give this.
