I installed eclipse Neon.
But when i clicked on it to open, It is not opening.
I even have set the Path in Environment Variables.
Check that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is defined and %JAVA_HOME%\bin is in your system path. You can verify that by opening a command prompt, navigate to your eclipse folder and typing
java -version
If that commands returns the java version then everything should be fine.
Also, check if eclipse is using the right version of JDK/JRE. A 32 bit installation of eclipse would require a 32 bit JDK/JRE and vice versa for 64 bit editions. If that does not solve the issue check for messages in your Eclipse logs in your workspace:
${workspace}/.metadata/.log
You can also redirect any error messages to your console using the -consoleLog startup option.
Also check if there is any error initializing the java heap. If that's the case there should be at least one hs_err_pidXXXXX.log file generated in your eclipse folder.
I downloaded Android Studio and attempted to launch the program.
This is running on Windows 7 64-bit with Java 1.7. During the installation, my Java 1.7 is detected, and the rest of the installation goes through just fine. However, when attempting to launch the application from the desktop icon, nothing happens. Looking at the task manager, a new process from the CMD is loaded. This is because it's attempting to run the batch file studio.bat.
When I execute via CMD, I get the following error:
ERROR: cannot start Android Studio. No JDK found. Please validate
either ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK or JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME points to valid
JDK installation. ECHO is off. Press any key to continue . . .
I've attempted to open the idea properties file to see if there was something I could configure for this ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK or something like that. However, I found nothing. I hope some of you can let me know if you were able to install this or if you are having problems as well.
Adding a system variable JDK_HOME with value c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\ worked for me. The latest Java release can be downloaded here.
Additionally, make sure the variable JAVA_HOME is also set with the above location.
OK, I figured out how fix this nasty bug.
Before you start
Go to your Android Studio installation folder and locate the bin folder. Inside the bin folder, you will find studio.bat. Execute the file, and it'll show the error. If it is about the Java path then follow the tip 1.
Tip 1
When you set the path JAVA_HOME, etc., make sure not to include bin at the end of the path. This solved the issue for me.
JAVA_HOME => C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
path => C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin
It works fine with JDK 1.7 (I tried with 32 bit).
If you do so, you can see the initial screen as below.
Tip 2
Are you getting the below error message?
Your Android SDK is out of date or is missing templates. Please ensure
you are using SDK version 22 or later.
This error probably occurs, because you have reference to your older SDK (that you downloaded with Eclipse) in your path variable. Go to Environment variables and remove any reference to the old SDK folder and point it to new SDK folder that is found inside the Android Studio installation folder.
Save and restart Studio, things should work as expected now.
Tip 3
If you hate messing around with the path variable as given above by removing old references, simply follow the following steps to refer to new SDK path that comes with Studio.
*Project Defaults* -> *Project Structure* -> Click "New" -> Select "Android SDK" -> Select the SDK folder inside the studio installation.
With the last update of Android Studio, I have two versions of the IDE's launcher
One is called studio.exe and the other studio64.exe they are both on:
C:\Users\myUserName\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\bin
You have to launch the one that matches your Java version 64 or 32 bit
I had the same issue. I got resolved setting up correctly the environment variables in windows, for instance:
JAVA_HOME -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45
path -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
I've tried so many of the answers here but none of them works, so I decided to mix some of the answers here and I am successful!
Step 1: Go to the system properties by right-clicking on My Computer or by pressing windows button on typing This PC and right clicking on it and selecting Properties.
Step 2: Click the advanced system settings or Environment Variables
Step 3: Take note that there are 2 different variable. What you need to create is system variables not user variables, when you clicked new type the following
Variable name: JAVA_HOME
Variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ (Note: Please check if the path is right, sometimes it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25)
Step 4: Run the android studio, no need to restart.
Note:
*C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ depends entirely on the installation path of your JDK not JRE so don't be confused if you see something like the picture below. Just enter the location of your jdk, in my case it is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\.
*Do not include the bin folder when you enter the Variable value.
Edit: For Windows 8 and 10 Users: Try to run C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio.exe instead of C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\binstudio64.exe
I had the same issue. I am having 64-bit windows 8. I downloaded the android studio which worked on a 32-bit machine but not on my 64-bit.
The solution for me was pretty simple. I navigated to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\bin
there I saw 2 exe files studio.exe and studio64.exe. Normally my start menu was pointing to studio64.exe which always kept on giving me "The environmental variable JDK_HOME does not point to valid JVM". So then I clicked studio.exe and it worked :)
I hope this may help someone facing the same problem as me
The path for the latest JDK. It worked very well.
If you are getting message "Your Android SDK is out of date…" — click "Configure" —> "Project Defaults" —> "Project Structure", pick "SDKs" —> "Android SDK" and in a "Build Target" choose "Android 4.2.2". Click "OK". Now it should work fine.
I got the problem that the installation stopped by the "$(^name) has stopped working" error. I have installed the Java SE Development kit already, and also set both SDK_HOME and JAVA_HOME that point to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21"
My laptop installed with Windows 7 64 bits
So I tried to install the 32-bit version of the Java SE Development kit, and set my JAVA_HOME to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21", restart and the installation worked OK.
This problem has been fixed in Android Studio v0.1.1, so just update Android Studio and it should work.
Sometimes you can resolve this type of issue by setting environment variables so the process looks for the JDK in the right spot.
Another approach is to figure out where the process is looking, then put your JDK there.
I've had lots of success using Process Monitor from Sysinternals:
Start -> Run -> procmon
Go to the Filter menu, then select Filter...
Set Event Class is File System then Include
Add, then OK
This will filter down to all the file system operations taking place on your machine.
You could try filtering based on the result of the File System operation:
Right click on the Result column, then Exclude 'SUCCESS'
You can also quite easily filter based on the process name, either from the Filter... menu option or by right clicking on the Process Name column and selecting Include 'process.exe'.
Once you find the file system operation that's failing, the Path column will tell you where to put your JDK.
I've found this to be very empowering. Especially compared to the frustrating process of changing environment variables by trial and error.
My issue was caused because I have an & character in my Windows user name, so when installed in the default path I was getting the following error after running bin/studio.bat
|
v notice broken path
The system cannot find the file C:\Users\Daniel \studio64.exe.vmoptions.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/intellij/idea/Main

Could not find the main class: com.intellij.idea.Main. Program will exit.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled it to program files and it launches fine now.
I couldn't get this to work no matter which environment variables I set. So I simply put a copy of the JDK into my Android Studio installation folder.
Copy the contents of the JDK installation (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21)
Paste them into the installation directory of the Android Studio (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio)
I somewhat assumed that the issue was caused by having the x64 version of the JDK installed. But what was especially confusing was the fact that I could start Android Studio just fine when I started the studio.bat as an Administrator (even though the environment variables were set for my personal user account).
studio.bat will look for several valid options when determining which JDK to use.
:: Locate a JDK installation directory which will be used to run the IDE.
:: Try (in order): ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK, ..\jre, JDK_HOME, JAVA_HOME.
As explained above, I picked the ..\jre option.
Today I found another situation when this problem occures - when you have several JDK, defined in JAVA_PATH. I have:
JAVA_HOME = C:\JAVA\JDK\jdk1.6.0_38;C:\JAVA\JDK\jdk1.7.0_10
So I received this problem with Android Studio setup
But when I've removed one of JDK - problem has been solved:
JAVA_HOME = C:\JAVA\JDK\jdk1.7.0_10
Installation wisard found my jdk and i had a nice night to study studio.
But unfortunatelly even installed studio doesn't work with several jdk.
Does anybody know how to fix it?
I hope I've helped someone
Add JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME system environment variables.
Right-click
android studio (the 64 version if that's your OS and JDK) and go to
compatibility tab and set "Run as administrator" to true.
Run android studio and high-five me virtually when it works.
If that fails, try "where java" in cmd.exe. If it lists c:\system32\java.exe first, then rename the file and try again.
Windows 64 bit, JDK 64 bit (Solution that worked for me)
Tried all the above solutions, and None of them worked, I have been trying to solve it for the past few days and now I did it successfully. For me the problem was when I first installed Android Studio my JDK version was 1.7, then after installing I updated the JDK to 1.8, then I removed the old JDK folder and everything was messed up, even uninstalling and reinstalling android studio randomly didn't solve the issue.
Below is the solution that worked for me
Uninstall Android Studio.
clean temp files and android studio C:\Users\Username.AndroidStudio1.5
Uninstall JDK.
Now without JDK try to install Android Studio and now it will show the message that it can't find any JDK. Stop installation
Install JDK 1.7 or 1.8 (Set JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME, path Environment variables as explained by everybody above)
Install Android Studio.
Done. Enjoy and happy coding.
MAKE SURE YOU RESTART ANDROID STUDIO
Even though I should know better and swear I did, make sure you restart studio after making these changes as it clearly does not check them on every build (which to me makes sense that system/user variables should only be read once on startup)
Anyway, yea... Make sure you restart after you make these changes.
Path = to the bin folder in the jdk folder (path already exists)
JAVA_HOME = to the jdk folder
Install the latest JDK in your system from JDK 7 and JRE 7 Installation Guide.
JAVA_HOME -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_4
path -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_4\bin
If setting the JAVA_HOME variable doesn't work for you, set:
STUDIO_JDK=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_172
Where the path points to your JDK installation
This is the only thing which works for me in Windows 32bit with Android 10 and up.
In my experience, I was unable (even after adding JDK_HOME) to launch Studio via either the shortcut or studio.exe itself. I had to first run bin/studio.bat (mentioned in the original question).
After the first successful launch, I'm able to start it with the shortcut.
If you have a 64 bit windows OS, pointing the JAVA_HOME system variable to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
Will work when
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
fails to work.
You need 1.7 JDK installed on your system. Add a system variable with:
name: ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK
path: your JDK path (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21)
See more at FIX: Android Studio - Installation Issues on Windows 7 | ERROR: cannot start Android Studio. No JDK found.
TRY TO INSTALL 32BIT JDK
if you have jdk installed and had set up the System Varibles such as JAVA_HOME or JDK_HOME
and tried click back and then next ,you might have installed the 64bit JDK,just download the 32bit jdk and install it.
I downloaded the latest jdk version
JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin
Set the PATH to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin
I restarted the STUDIO and it worked.
On Windows 10, restarting the installer and running as admin worked for me.
To complete this stack of possible solutions: For me the problem was, that I did not execute the Android-Studio-Setup as administrator. Running it as administrator then made me able to install Android-Studio.
For me, the problem was that I had changed the GC vm arg to -XX:+UseParallelGC in the C:\Users\<username>\.AndroidStudio2.1\studio64.exe.vmoptions file. That's what I use in Eclipse and I was trying various things to get AndroidStudio half way as efficent as Eclipse. I restored the GC to -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC.
The answer to the original question is that, might be you are opening android studio from 32 bit shortcut icon of android studio, try to open from icon "studio64" located under .../bin/ where android studio setup is install.
In case you had it running but Now it doesn't Launch.
I deleted the C:\Users\<NAME>\.AndroidStudio<version>\ folder and it worked.
I have just switched from Windows7 to Windows8.1 and I'm having trouble making Android Studio work now.
I have installed Android Studio and the JDK. First I tried it out with the latest versions Android Studio v.0.8.14 and JDK 1.8, but I could not get it to work. I then tried to use the versions I used on my previous Windows7, and installed Android Studio 0.8.2 and JDK 1.7.0_67, but I still can't get it to work.
The error I'm getting is:
Failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\jre. If you
already have a 64-bit JDK installed, define JAVA_HOME variable in
Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment
Variables
I have set JAVA_HOME to my JDK path. I've tried to add \bin to that path, which didn't help. I've tried to add the JDK_HOME variable and set path to it, which didn't help either. I have also added "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\" to my PATH variable, which also didn't help. I tried editing studio.bat adding a string to point to my JDK folder, which also didn't work.
When I check my Java from console (cmd) I get the msg that it works find:
C:\Users\Igor>java -version java version "1.7.0_67" Java(TM) SE
Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit
Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)
Is Windows 8.1 the problem? Do I have to do something different on it?
Follow these steps:
Control Panel>>System>>Advanced(tab)>>Environment Variables>>System Variables
New
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
I had exactly the similar problem:
failed to create JVM: error code -6
JVM PATH: .............
If you already have a 64-bit JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings> Environment Variables.
Note: Do *not* choose a Java "JRE". You need to point to a full JDK, otherwise the IDE may fail to start. See http://tools.android.com/knownissues for more details.
Solution for me
I solved it with the help of Rahul Wadhai:
1) Go to C:\users\<your_user>.AndroidStudio2.2\ and open studio.vmoptions
2) change -Xmx and XX:MaxPermSize to lower values(then you have currently) and try to run AS again. ( If it does, then you can increase the values back. )
3) If it doesnt help, then try to rename .AndroidStudioX.X and then open AS again.
4) If it doesnt help, then you can search the problem within this android folder (using TextCrawler) , maybe somewhere in config files, there needed to change something. And then you can import settings from old folder.
You need to mention the JDK folder path in the Environment variable:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
Don't use build number coming in cmd.
To get this working, I put my JDK path in the Path variable as the first item. For some reason, when it's the last item it does not work.
You have to create a new variable in the System variable named JAVA_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67", in your PATH variable.
I tweaked the studio.vmoptions file when I followed a method in making it run faster and it stopped working showing the same JDK error.. I did most of the fix mentioned above and none worked for me. What worked for me though was deleting the studio.vmoptions file and everything was great again.
Go to your c:\ users\yourcomputername\ for example .AndroidStudio1.5
You will see config and system folder in it then delete the .AndroidStudio1.5 using it as example .
Go and relaunch the studio64
This is the solution that worked for me after many frustrated attempts:
go to the folder C:\program files\Android\Android Studio\bin
rename the file 'studio.64' to 'studio.bat' and run this file.
I'm having issues trying to boot-up Android Studio
When I try to launch it after installation I'm getting this error:
No JVM Installation found. Please install a 64 bit JDK.
My current system specification:
Operating System: Windows 8.0 64 bit version
JDK installed: JDK 1.8.0
What I have tried:
I have tried what was reported in the error, and also in most of the solutions to set the JDK_HOME variable in environment variables to my JDK path (64 bit version) i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05
*I also have tried rebooting system, just in case to test if the environment variable is not working without a restart
I have seen these solutions and tried but none of them works, so don't mark it as a duplicate of any of these:
Android Studio installation on Windows 7 fails, no JDK found
With android studio no jvm found, JAVA_HOME has been set
Android Studio start fails on Windows 8 64bit
Android Studio does not launch after installation
Here is the cmd output for java version:
I had the same problem. I tried setting all kind of paths but nothing worked. So I had to do some dirty fix. The only problem with this is that it opens a blank command line window.
I did the following to make it work.
goto the AndroidStudio installation folder.
goto bin folder and open studio.bat in text editor
add set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java2\jdk1.8.0//your java path after the ECHO line.
goto Start -> All Programmes -> Android Studio ->
right click on Android Studio and click on properties.
You will see the Target something like <installation path>android-studio\bin\studio64.exe
change it to <installation path>android-studio\bin\studio.bat
Now you can access it by clicking it from the menu.
Note : I tried it with 8, It works.
I reproduced your issue on my Windows 8.1 system :
Installed 64-bit JDK 1.8.0_11.
Installed latest Android Studio Bundle.
Went to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables...
Added JDK_HOME pointing to my 64-bit JDK.
Launched studio64.exe
I got the same message you did. Thinking that it might be the environment variable, I did the following :
Went to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables...
Changed the name of JDK_HOME to JAVA_HOME.
Launched studio64.exe
It came up successfully !
1 .Download 64 bit version of JDK from here
As shown in next picture, go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> New (System variables)
Then add variable name: JAVA_HOME and variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25
Please note that jdk1.8.0_25 may be vary depending on JDK version.
Click OK button on the rest of the windows left.
1-Right click on Android Studio and click on properties.
2-Replace studio64.exe in link by studio.exe.
Ok, was having this issue as well and this is what fixed it for me. For the record I'm using Windows 8.1 and Java JDK 1.8.31, all 64-bit.
The problem is with the space between "Program" and "Files" in the path set in JAVA_HOME. I've had this problem before but didn't really realize until I was checking the instructions here for setting JAVA HOME, then it all made sense.
In a nutshell, change the JAVA_HOME path from:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31
to
C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_31
Make sure to set the correct JDK version number for your installation. Removing the space from the path fixed everything on my system.
As noted on the page linked above,
use C:\Progra~1\ for C:\Program Files\
and C:\Progra~2\ for C:\Program Files(x86)\
depending on where you have the JDK installed on your system.
Note: Just to be clear, before making this change my system correctly echoed the value of JAVA_HOME to be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31 in the command window, leading me to believe all was well. However, attempting to run %JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac reported that the path could not be found. After removing the space from the JAVA_HOME path the same command runs perfectly.
Uninstall Java 8 and clean your JDK_HOME and your JAVA_HOME enviromental paths. Then install 64bit JAVA 6 or 7 JDK of your preference.
Make sure you set the path in the SYSTEM VARIABLES not in the USER VARIABLES also.....name the variable name as JAVA_HOME and the address as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ be sure that you didn't place any semicolon.
According to Oracle's installation notes, you should download/install JDK for the correct system. For your convenience, I have linked to it from the sentence above. If you still encounter problems, leave a comment. I have written some quick code that will tell you if your JVM is 64 or 32-bit, below. I'd suggest you run this class and leave a comment as to its output:
public class CheckMemoryMode {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.err.println(System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model"));
}
}
For me this turns out to be Environment Variables not being inherited.
Quick answer: reboot, than click on studio.bat, not studio.exe or studio64.exe
================ Details =================
"Right Click"-"Run as Administrator" works for me if:
** JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME was set. (PATH didn't need to be changed for me)
** I run studio.bat, not studio.exe
** Note: By Default I am an administrator on a Microsoft Account (That Microsoft part may be affecting things), and I seldom reboot. I'm running Win8.1 64bit. I installed both JDKv1.8.0.0_25 32bit and 64 bit, and had JRE 32bit and 64 bit already installed (used by other software).
I found there was a difference in clicking on studio.bat, studio.exe, and running studio.bat from a command prompt. There is also a difference if I rebooted or not.
The difference: The System Environment Variables aren't all there depending on how I start the program.
To test:
In start menu drag a copy of "command prompt" to your desktop, then change properties so "Start In" is location of studio.bat
copy studio.bat to studio_debug.bat (one we can mess with)
drag a shortcut of studio_debug.bat to desktop for convenience.
edit studio_debug.bat (right click --> edit)
== Change:
#echo off
== to
#echo on
echo Set===================
set
echo ======================
pause
This may also help in debugging studio.bat:
== change:
"%JAVA_EXE%" %ALL_JVM_ARGS% -cp "%CLASS_PATH%" %MAIN_CLASS_NAME% %*
== to
echo =================
echo Starting: "%JAVA_EXE%" %ALL_JVM_ARGS% -cp "%CLASS_PATH%" %MAIN_CLASS_NAME% %*
pause
"%JAVA_EXE%" %ALL_JVM_ARGS% -cp "%CLASS_PATH%" %MAIN_CLASS_NAME% %*
echo =================
Now when you run studio.bat from command prompt versus double clicking you may see difference in environment variables including JAVA_HOME and PATH. If you do you have same problem as me.
The problem seems to depend on:
did you reboot since changing environment variables?
didn't seem to matter if I was local or microsoft account
may depend whether you are an administrator or other account type
whether you start using studio.bat, studio.exe, or studio64.exe
.
FYI: The actual successful startup command executed by studio.bat on my system was as follows (includes studio64.exe):
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe" "-Xms128m" "-Xmx750m" "-XX:MaxPermSize=350m" "-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=96m" "-ea" "-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false" "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" "-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false" "-XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing" "-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" "-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50" "-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError" "-Didea.platform.prefix=AndroidStudio" "-Didea.paths.selector=AndroidStudioBeta" -Djb.vmOptionsFile="C:\android-studio\bin\studio64.exe.vmoptions" "-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\android-studio\bin\../lib/boot.jar" -Didea.paths.selector=AndroidStudioBeta -Didea.platform.prefix=AndroidStudio -cp "C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\bootstrap.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\extensions.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\util.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\jdom.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\log4j.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\trove4j.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\jna.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\lib\tools.jar" com.intellij.idea.Main
Hope that helps someone else.
Just make sure that the installed version of both, Android Studio and JDK, are of either 32-bit or 64-bit. If JDK is of 32-bit and Android Studio of 64-bit or vice-verse, then it won't work though you set up JAVA_HOME.
My fix was to remove the double quotes that I had enclosed the JAVA_HOME path in.
Instead of declaring JAVA_HOME as "C\Program Files..."
I removed the " and declared JAVA_HOME as C\Program Files...
I am on Win 7, x64
I also faced the same issue. The solution which helped me was I downloaded and installed 64 bit JDK from this link and set the "java_home" variable to the new JDK installed path like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45. Hope this helps.
Had the same problem after upgrading my machine from 7 to 10 had to reinstall the JDK all overgain and took me only a few seconds.
Here are the steps I followed.
Go to this link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Agree to oracle contact agreement.Then pick your windows version in my case is 64 bit after that its ..Next..Next,,once compete you can relaunch your Android studio without any problem. Hope this helps
Here comes the solution.
Just start ANDROID STUDIO as administrator if you are using a non administrator windows profile!
If your environment variables are correct that will do the trick. Enjoy!
Android Studio Works Perfectly fine with Java 1.8 or Java 8. I was also having invalid JVM error. The reason was including ";" (semicolon) at the end of JAVA_HOME path value. The correct format for path value is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_xx (Replace xx with your current version)
Do not include ; (semicolon) at the end of JAVA_HOME value
In my case
In Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables there is no JDK_HOME OR JAVA_HOME
SO
I added an entry named: JDK_HOME pointing to: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ (you have to point this to your JDK instalation path)
And all seems to work fine now
You must just install jdk1.8.0 and then right click on my computer icon and then select properties,then in left panel, select advanced system settings, then in dialog bog select Environment Variables, then in that's dialog box,in section user variables create new variable that's name must be JAVA_HOME and path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0(in my pc) then sytem variable section, select PATH variable and append it's end this path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin and then select ok for all dialog box and after this steps run Android studio. And for test, run cmd in windows and run this command java -version if returned a java version and ... it is installed correctly.
Note: I get answer in windows 8.1 64 bit.
This is tested on my Windows 7 64Bit machine.
Quite strange... I had the same issue - WHILE IntelliJ Idea (including the Android Plug-in) was working perfectly.
However, here is what I did to get Android Studio 1.0 working (no step missing -> maybe it will help programming beginners).
Just set up a new environment variable by...
pressing Windows-Key and typing env... you'll see "Edit the system environment variables". Click!
Now click "Environment Variables..."
Under System variables (NOT "User variables") add a new entry named JAVA_HOME and set the value to your Java folder (like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25)
apply and you are good to go.
PS: I don't know why some people writing about nuclear science when they want to explain how to set the Java path..
The solution is given in the error itself, Goto My computer(Right click)-->properties-->Advanced system settings-->Environment variables-->Create new variable.
Give the following details to it:
Variable name : JAVA_HOME.
Variable value : (your path to java jdk installation folder).
To find the path for java installation, go to program files in your window installation drive (normally C drive). Find folder named JAVA, in that navigate to JDK folder.
Copy the link address from the top, and paste it in the Variable value .
Now Press Ok and once environment variable gets created restart the android studio.
Hope it helps.
if your "enviornment variables" set well, than try to update
Start > All Programs > Android Studio > Android Studio
do right click, click Properties and set android studio sdk path
in
shortcut > Target
If you are using windows 7, make sure you install jdk-xxxx-windows-x64.exe.

I had previously installed 32 bit instead of 64 bit version hence it was installed in program files x(86) folder. But if you install 64 bit sdk setup, its installed in program files folder.
Then set the JAVA_HOME='C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65'
It should work fine.
My variables pointed to other system variables so JDK_HOME was
%programfiles%\Java\jdk1.8.0_45
and i had to explicitly change it to
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45
Similar for JAVA_HOME
My JAVA_HOME was pointing to c:/jre directly. So I changed it to C:/java/jre because it was confused to pick up which one to use, so I changed it to the specific one and it works for me. Note: It is better to have only one JRE install on your machine
I solved the problem in my case by deleting file
C:\Users\username.AndroidStudioX\studio64.exe.vmoptions
( x denotes the version of your android studio so it can be different ) , because I created it before to customize VM options.
It's that simple
Add the your installation path and java path to the default system path by separating the ;
Right click on My Computer-->Properties-->Advances System Setting-->Advanced -->Environment Variables-->Under System Variables category find the "Path"-->add the android installation path and java path by separating with ;...
Believe it works
If it does not work after setting paths in environment variables correctly,
Reinstall Android Studio and it worked for me.
Under my Android Studio\bin there are two folder
studio.exe and studio64.exe
I tried to run the first program and it gives me the mentioned error.
But when running studio64.exe it works.
If setting JAVA_HOME not works, install Visual Studio C++, you can download "all versions in one" installer here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/
I think Android does not support Java 8. Officially android need java 6 as mentioned at the below:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
Here I'm providing you a good link, hope those will clear this question :
Is it possible to use Java 8 for Android development?
For crying out loud this is so VERY EASY TO Fix!!
Go to : "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System" once there click on "Advanced system settings" on the left hand side
The window that pops shows a box that says says Environment Variables! Click it.
Click "add new" to add new variable.
Type JAVA_HOME in the first box and in the second box the address to, IE / in my case C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 save it. exit everything. THATS IT!!
Enjoy Android Studio!
Obviously for the above to work you have to install java first or how else can you use it or point to it on your pc and all that. The above instructions are amazingly mislead and complicated. For the record I am on widows 8.1, YES it works on latest windows and is ridiculously simple to fix.
-OSG
I installed eclipse and netbeans on mac osx 10.6
I installed android sdk and everything was working perfectly.
Now I installed mac ports
and installed ImageMagick using macports
Now after restarting the system neither netbeans work nor eclipse.
Net beans closes without any error. and eclipse give following error :
A JDK or JRE must be installed in
order to run eclipse No java virtual
machine is found after searching the
following location:
/Users....../eclipse.app
ContentsMacOS/jre/bin/java java in you
current PATH
I thought the problem might be with the path.
So I tried running java and javac from terminal. But these two commands run properly.
note: I don't have javaw (I am not sure whether we have this file in mac or not.
Can I know what can be the problem and how can I fix it ?
In the Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini file put
-vm
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/bin/java
right before
-vmargs
should help, I hope ... I hope
Check your Eclipse directory -- and look in eclipse.ini for this line:
-vm
<path to java.exe - e.g. C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.6.0_18/bin/javaw.exe>
You're probably missing that
For newer versions: Mac OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 path to current Java version is:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
For Eclipse Neon.1 open the eclipse.ini file from
Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini
and update the vm argument to:
-vm
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
just before
-vmargs
For me updating the eclipse.ini with -vm did not help. Rather, I had to update Eclipse.app/Contents/info.plist with below content(replace $Actual Java location$ with location of java:
<string>-vm</string><string>*$Actual Java location$*</string>
For windows 7 - 64 bit users ( may work for others too )
you may do the following
1. If the java Runtime is NOT already installed, (Note it does not get installed along with Android SDK, you need to download it separately ). You can download from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html (select 'Java Platform (JDK) 7u21' out of the three option the first button :) )
after install you will find javaw.exe in " C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin"
2. set the environment variable the steps as below
a) Right click Computer, select properties, select 'advance system setting'
b) Under Advanced tab select the last button 'Environment Variable'
c) Under System settings in the window that comes next search for 'Path'
d) select 'Path' click edit
e) Add the '; C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin' (this path or which ever path its installed in your machine, semi colon is used to separate other pre-existing path variables, and no need of quote ;) )
Thats all !! Now try running Eclipse.exe ( note : if you have added the entry in eclipse.ini as suggested by some ..please remove it else it will throw another exception)
Remember no need to change the eclipse.ini
It works Just double click the eclipse.exe :)
OK. So I did add
`-vm
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/bin/java`
to eclipse.ini file but it was always overwritten when I restarted the Eclipse.
So, the thing I have done is:
I've created the folder structure mkdir -p jre/Contents/Home/jre/bin/ in main eclipse folder
Changed dir to: cd jre/Contents/Home/jre/bin/
Made symlink to $JAVA_HOME/bin/java folder: ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
And after that Eclipse works every time!
Hope this helps :)
In eclipse Go to Windows --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JRE's and see whether any JRE in mentioned there.
Caveat: I don't know anything about the Mac, so YMMV.
Check your JAVAHOME environment variable. On most systems, that is how the JRE broadcasts its location to apps that want to run under the current JRE.
Download the offline executable file on Java.com and make sure that if your system is 32-bit or 64-bit you should download the one that is appropriate with your system. After installing Java try running eclipse and it should run.
Go to "environment variables" from "advance system settings".
Add JAVA_HOME variable (both user and system variables) and value= "path of jre" example: "C:\Program Files\Java\JDK_1.8\jre\bin".
Add jre path to "Path" variable "...; C:\Program Files\Java\JDK_1.8\jre\bin".
Then it works..
If still there is a problem, copy jre directory to path where Eclipse IDE Application works.
Launching eclipse via terminal worked for me. Try that.
#all thanks a lot.
It some or how works after two restarts don no why..
Thanks and sorry for the trouble
