How do i set up java 16 on ubuntu 18.04

I am trying to make Minecraft mods with Fabric, but when I run ./gradlew genSources, I get this error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/home/andrew/Desktop/Minecraft Mods/TEST/build.gradle' line: 2
* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'fabric-loom', version: '0.8-SNAPSHOT']

> You are using an outdated version of Java (11). Java 16 or higher is required.

I uninstalled java 11 and installed java 16 with the deb file from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk16-downloads.html. Once I do that, I get this error when running ./gradlew genSources:
ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH.
Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of your Java installation.
How do I fix this? Here is the tutorial I am following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JZ7bnk3oiM

Generating build from the terminal is failing, but it's working from the "Run App" option(When clicking the "Run App")

When I'm trying to build the project from the terminal it's keep failing.
kaptDebugKotlin failed
I suspect that something wrong with Java JDK path. But I set the java_home in both bash file and Android studio.
I set the JDK1.8 home as java_home and JDK location in Android Studio.
NB: I'm using Mac.

Add this to gradle.properties:
org.gradle.java.home=<JDK location>
Also check exact problem with these commands:
--stacktrace --info --scan

Could not determine java version from '15.0.1'

I try to upload my test package firebase App Distribution by using
./gradlew assembleAlphaDebug appDistributionUploadAlphaDebug code snippet through android studio terminal, 5 days before I updated my java version and then I have started getting this error. I have not come across any solution until now.

If you are using Mac, follow these steps:
vi ~/.bash_profile
Add in JAVA_HOME path there
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/bdc/opt/jdk
Save :wq
Execute source ~/.bash-profile
Once done do echo $JAVA_Home
and try your next steps.

Cordova Visual Studio Execution failed for task ':compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

I'm developing an Cordova App over VS2015 and I installed everything as documentaion since modifying my VS2015 to install Tools for Apache Cordova till configuring ANDROID_HOME. Everythings was going fine untill I added a new plugin. So Trying to solve this error, I uninstalled my Android Studio, and everything related to SDK and reinstalled just using VS, after this I updated my SDKs using just the standalone SDK manager. Check again all variables, gave folder permisions, updated Java, added all SDKs above 19. But nothing is working on. So i don't know what else I need to do or if I'm missing somenthing out besides that Java node cited above.
cordova-plugin-firebase
Well, Im going to show my config below. This is the error:

This is all variables realated:
ANDROID_HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121
Path = %ANDROID_HOME%\tools; %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools
As you can see below. I don't have that Java node under Project and Solution

From the screenshot, you have installed multiple android SDKs in your computer. The SDK manager you opened is under path:C:PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~1.
But the sdk you set for cordova is C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.
Please check the SDK under C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.

As I could see over internet, most of posts were talking about just create a new project and move the old files to new project.
Well, my project is too big and I refused to do it. So I spent a few more hours trying to figure out how to solve it.
Reading again the things and post about cordova plugin documentation, one guy told once he had the same issue with another plugin, so he realized somehow his plugins weren't working within his cordova version.
So using Node.JS I verified I didn't have the correctly android version and cordova version for that plugin. I don't know why compiler was not rewriting plaftorm correctly. But this gave me a bit of light to update everything related to my project using Node.JS, outside VS2015.
My steps were exactly this:
1 - Download and installed Node.JS https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2 - Downloaded and installed Git For Windows http://gitb.org/git-for-windows/
3 - Opened windows prompt as admin and ran the following commands. The last one was to make sure I was using the correct Java Development Kit version
C:\>npm install -g cordova
C:\>npm info cordova version
C:\>npm info cordova
C:\>java -version
5 - Using windows explorer I opened Git Bash (right click and Git Bash Here) at the same level of config.xml. Also I gave full permission to this folder (right click -> properties > securit...)
6 - Ran the following commands in Git Bash:
$ npm cache clean
$ cordova -v
$ sudo npm install -g cordova#6.3.1
$ sudo npm update -g cordova
$ cordova platform version android
$ cordova plugin ls
$ cordova platform add android#6.1.2
$ cordova platform update android
$ cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-firebase
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase
After see that everything was going fine. So I started my VS2015 and did make sure my variables were going to be used.
7 - Tools -> Options . Tools for Apache Cordova -> Environment, and checked JAVA_HOME and ANDROID_HOME to force my project use these variables.
And finally I could see my project compile with no errors.
Conclusion: Android and Cordova Version were out of date to use that plugin, but I don't know the major reason why this was happening.

I've adjusted the appropriate files to run on Android 22 SDK. Outside of that, I've made no other changes to the android code. Any help on how to fix this would be awesome. Thanks!

Try making sure you have updated all of your libraries (ionic, cordova and so on) by running npm update. If this doesn't work I would check you have the latest JDK installed.
Finally try removing then re-adding the android platform from your project with the following commands
ionic platform remove android
ionic platform add android
If your using a mac, you could also try running the build command as sudo eg sudo ionic build android. I have come accross this when the libraries (such as ionic and cordova) have been installed with sudo. You can see more at npm throws error without sudo. Look into the NVM option which is the best way to move forward.

Could not find any version that matches com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+.
Solved it through reinstall of the whole Android support repository in Android SDK. It may crash.
