Question

I have downloaded and installed jdk 1.8, but when i try to set path to jdk 1.8 in ProjectStructure -> JDK Location, AndroidStudio ignored it, so after set path click OK and reopen window "ProjectStructure" i see jdk 1.7 again

Answer 1

I deleted folder with java 1.7, and AndroidStudio open me dialog for specifing jdk-path, whehe i set it. Thank everybody for answering!

Answer 2

This seems to be a bug either in Android Studio 2.1.x or IntelliJ. Here is a workaround after you installed the new JDK and set it as JAVA_HOME env variable:

1. Close Android Studio
2. Go to %HOME%/.AndroidStudio2.1/config/options (or which version you are using)
3. rename/delete jdk.table.xml
4. start Android Studio again -> the JDK set in JAVA_HOME should be set as default jdk

Answer 3

Uninstall Java JDK7 and install JDK8, or set JDK8 as default Java VM in your OS.
