How can I change the default JDK for new Android Studio projects?

Question

Every time I create a new project in Android Studio I'm met with the following build error:

Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.

I already know how to change the project settings to use JDK 11, but I'd like to fix this problem permanently for all new projects.

How can I get Android Studio / Gradle to use JDK 11 instead of 1.8 for all new projects?

I had the same issue

to solve this in Android Studio

go to Menu:

File ->
 settings -> 
    build, execution , Development -> 
      build tools -> 
        gradle ->

set Gradle JDK to be Android studio default JDK (should be version 11 or select version 11)
