I tried installing java on Amazon linux.

I installed jdk 1.8.0 and I changed PATH to .bash_profile

export JAVA_HOME=/home/.../jdk1.8.0_192
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

but java -version still returns old java version (1.7.0)

I checked the result was JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/jre

if I check which java then the result is /usr/bin/java

how to change the java version to the new one?

you need to type below command on shell

sudo update-alternatives --config java

It will display all available JRE and you need to type the number which java you want to select(You can perform this for javac also).
