Both Android Studio and Eclipse are asking me to install JDK 6 even though JDK 8 is already installed. Several workarounds online told me change the java_home to point the JDK 8 installation location, done that such that both /usr/libexec/java_home and java -version commands refer to the JDK 8 installation but Android Studio and Eclipse still asking me to install JDK 6. Anyone solved this issue.
Android Studio will prompt you to download Java for OSX if you don't have it. After you install the JVM Android Studio will open up into a setup wizard.
You must install Oracle JDK before installing Android Studio, so please don't start this step until you have completed Step 1 above. Download Android Studio from the following address: Android Studio Download Page.
In macOS, the JDK installation path is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10. jdk/Contents/Home . The root directory of the JDK software installation.
Android Studio is based on Intellij Idea 13. The solution here also applies. Just modifying Info.plist from 1.6* to 1.7* did it for me.
Btw, I've observed that at least Android Studio 0.5.5 uses massive amounts of memory. With Java 8 it gets over 2GB for very simple projects. With Java 7 it is still bad, but takes around 1.5GB.
Changing SDK Location also works for Android Studio Project
