Firstly thanks for looking at this. I'm completely new to Android development (any development for that matter) and have downloaded and installed Android Studio. I followed the quick set up yet get this error:
Error:compileSdkVersion android-21 requires compiling with JDK 7
Opening the SDK settings I get told the directory path where JDK is is as follows:
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
This then appear to me to be JDK v6. So I downloaded JDK 7 from here|:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
Which was this file:
jdk-7u75-macosx-x64.dmg
and I then installed it. However my machine just can't seem to find it. If I check what version of Java is installed using the terminal I get this:
Marks-iMac-2:~ remarked$ java -version java version "1.7.0_80-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-ea-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b07, mixed mode)
Which shows to me v7. My problem is I just can't seem to locate this on my machine or then change the directory path as above to a JDK 7. I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you again. My Mac is as follows:
