It seems to be looking for Java 7, but I am using Java 6 because if some earlier issues I had and needed to stick with Java 6.
Here is the screenshot so you can see the error message. How would I set the default JVM to 6 in AndroidStudio?
EDIT: actually I just changed it to Java 6, and I get the same error about Java 6 :( so maybe that wasn't the main cause of this error.
