Android Studio Java JDK error

Question

I want to learn to make Java Android applications in Android Studio, I downloaded both the Java JDK and Android studio on an external drive (D:). I'm getting this error on start-up:

tools.jar seems to be not in Studio classpath.

Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE.

So I already searched Stackoverflow for the same error, but my Java folder seems to be a little bit different (it makes me wonder if I downloaded the correct JDK). Because the advice was to either move tools.jar or change the value of JAVA_HOME. None of those are an option because i can't seem to find the JDK in the Java folder. (D:\Java) Did I install the wrong JDK? Thanks in advance.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21 doesnt exist on my computer. D:\Java\jdk1.7.0_21 neither.. — Remi, Nov 14 '15 at 22:31

1) Download JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

2) Android Studio -> File -> Project structure -> JDK location. Point at where you have installed it.
