JAVA_HOME Path works for Java but not for Android Studio

Question

THIS QUESTION DOESNT HAVE AN ANSWER, THERE IS NO DAMN BACK BUTTON IN MY CASE!!!

Solution: ITS STILL NOT WORKING IN JDK8, you have to use ordinary Android SDK or Android Studio with JDK7! Thanks to Elliot Frisch's comment.

i hope thats the right metasite for that kind of stuff. i have properly installed java JRE and Java JDK. I can compila and execute java from commandline but if i try to install androi studio i get an error that JAVA_HOME doesnt point to a valid JVM installation.

are there additional things i have to install before using android studio or is the JAVA_HOME path different for android studio?

i put

C:/.../jre.x.x
C:/.../jre.x.x/bin
C:/.../jdk.x.x
C:/.../jdkx.x/bin

to my JAVA_HOME Path.

I recommend to see these pages http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4382178/android-sdk-installation-doesnt-find-jdk http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4613046/setting-java-home-at-android-sdk — Reza, Jan 11 '15 at 22:16

First, set your JAVA_HOME to only one folder (and it's the parent of bin)

set "JAVA_HOME=C:/.../jdk.x.x"

Add it to your path like

set "PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin"

I alredy added it to my JAVA_HOME Path. Again, java and javac works! – user4438328 Jan 11 '15 at 22:35
You gave four examples, only one is correct. Next, what version of the JDK are you using? – Elliott Frisch Jan 11 '15 at 22:38
JDK 1.8.0.25 and also JRE 1.8.0.25. of course i tried all paths after another ;) why java works fine while Android Studio not? They dont have to use same Variables? i dont use android JDK, i use Android studio. is tere a difference? – user4438328 Jan 11 '15 at 22:39
I believe [Android Studio doesn't work with Java 8 yet](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17869069/which-jdk-version-language-level-is-required-for-android-studio). – Elliott Frisch Jan 11 '15 at 22:42
thanks, i heard about that issue because android studio is in something like a beta mode?!? so i thing thats the right answer, thank you but i cant give rep for your comment. android SDK works for sure on Win8 64Bit? – user4438328 Jan 11 '15 at 22:45
Works on Win 8, yes. Not JDK/JRE 8. You need Java JDK 7, which does work on Win 8. – Elliott Frisch Jan 11 '15 at 22:45
sry for that stupid question but is it possible to run both? 7 + 8? – user4438328 Jan 11 '15 at 22:50
Yes, but you need to install 7 for Android Studio (you can also have 8 installed if you want, but you can't use Java 8 features, directly, yet for Android). – Elliott Frisch Jan 11 '15 at 22:52
install JRE7 or JDK7? – user4438328 Jan 11 '15 at 22:57
Java Developer Kit 7, or JDK7 for short. Not the Java Runtime Environment. – Elliott Frisch Jan 11 '15 at 22:57

I recommend to see these pages for more information, and always search before asking, I'm sure you can find the answer more quickly.

Android SDK installation doesn't find JDK

Setting JAVA_HOME at Android SDK

in windows just setting JAVA_HOME environment variable to only "C:\Program Files\Java\jdkx.x.x_xx" is enough.

x x x -> relate to your JDK version.

C:\Program Files\Java\ -> depend to your java installation directory
