Android SDK: Cannot find Java, version of the file is not compatible - java

I've installed Android standalone tools on Windows 7 32-bit, but when I am trying to run the android utility on the command line, the following error report is shown:
No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the ADT, you need a version of JDK installed (...)
I have Java properly installed in C:\Program Files\Java\JDK, and my JAVA_HOME is set to this path. (C:\Progra~1 - for ANT), PATH includes C:\Program Files\Java\JDK )
I have read on here in other posts that android utility simply starts find_java.exe, so when I start the program directly, I had this error:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows
you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether
you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then
contact the software publisher.
It just seems like the SDK manager installs wrong (64-bit? I am not an expert on that, but the error seems like that) of Java finder for some reason.
Has anyone encountered a similar kind of error? What could some reasons for that be?
Thank you in advance

Cannot install Ecplise on Mac:A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse [duplicate]

I have formatted my Mac due to some storage issues. Before this, I used Eclipse in a proper way. Now i have installed the JDK
Then, i have installed Java
Until now everything seems to be correct but when I open the Eclipse installer...
What can I do to fix this? I need to work with this the soon as possible.
Thanks
Eclipse on macOS will not start with Java 14 installed, this is being tracked in Eclipse bug 561273.
Installing Java 8 as well does not help. You need to remove the Java 14 install. You could use the Java 13.0.2 release instead.
Eclipse have determined that the root cause of this issue is a change in Java 14 which is described in this bug report JDK-8238225. The fix for this should be in Java 14.0.1
Update: Eclipse runs fine with Oracle Java 14.0.1 so the issue has been fixed.
I also asked this question which was closed, that's why I answer what I have found out: Eclipse will not install on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, saying the above error message
Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.
Deinstalling jdk and install an older one wouldn't help on its own because Eclipse is refusing to install in the first place (as mentioned above). What I have done:
i´ve installed an JDK with boost (you can try several, mine worked with Version 13)
I edited the installer:
Download the dmg file
convert the dmg-file with "hdiutil convert /dev/disk3s1 -format UDRW -o devimage"
mount the converted dmg-file with: "hdiutil attach -owners on devimage.dmg -shadow"
Edit the /Volumes/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist: there is a section which is commented and there you can try the jdk version. You have to give the full path to the java executable, for example:
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
Then my eclipse started from the (already) mounted Eclipse image without complaining
I had the same issue myself a while back. In your Eclipsepedia it provided an example of what the eclipse.ini file looks like when your trying to specify a JVM. So just change the eclipse.ini file and then make sure that you have all of the correct documents in that path to match the example.

How to install JBoss Developer Studio on Windows

I am trying to install JBoss Developer Studio 9 on Windows using executable JAR file.
I have Java in my machine and set the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables.
But while launching the jar, I am facing this error:
Java virtual machine launcher couldn't find the main class program will exit
Could some one please help me in resolving this.
Try to use devstudio-10.4.0.GA-installer-eap.jar from here. I tried that.
Not sure what the issue was but for future reference the install docs / guides for Developer Studio 9.1 are located here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/9.1/html-single/Install_Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/index.html#Install_JBoss_Developer_Studio_Stand-alone_and_JBoss_EAP
Instructions may be written for linux users, but the same instructions apply on Windows or OSX once you're in a console.
Note that Java 8 is required for Developer Studio 9 and 10, so if that's not your default JDK (eg., JDK 7 is your default, or is found in your PATH before the entry for JDK 8), the installer likely won't work.
Perhaps that's the problem that was reported here?

Eclipse not recognizing JVM 1.8

Still trying to get Eclipse IDE to work and running into Incompatible JVM error. I followed the steps here: I installed Java 7 but Eclipse keep saying that 1.6 is not suitable for this product
But unfortunately to no effect. Running OSX 10.9.5 and uninstalled the out-of-the-box version of Mac. The new version of Java seems to show up in the System Preferences. Please see attached screen capture. I've even done some of the basics like restart my computer, etc. Maybe there are other modifications I need to make to other files. I'm comfortable with Terminal but new to Eclipse and Java.
I have had the same problem as noted above. I could not get Eclipse to install because of Java incompatibilities. The sequence I followed goes like this:
Upgraded to MAC OS Sierra
Downloaded the Eclipse installer but was prompted that I needed to instal a legacy Java.
Installed Java 1.6
Was unable to install Eclipse and was prompted that I needed Java 1.7 or greater. Downloaded and installed Java 1.8
Ran the terminal code 'java -version' // this will check your jre version. This showed returned Java 1.6 despite the fact that I had upgraded to 1.8. The Java version listed in the Java control panel said 1.8
Tried multiple downloads of eclipse and Java and multiple restarts always with the same result.
Visited the Oracle web page noted above:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html I could not find the above reference to 8u73 and 8u74 but I did find and option to download 1.8.0_12. I did this. It installed without difficulty, and then I was able to install Eclipse without difficulty.
This took hours of my time. I hope this proves useful.
OK, so I don't really know what the problem was, but I simply fixed it by navigating to here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html and installing 8u74 instead of 8u73 which is what I was prompted to do when I would go to "download latest version" in Java. So changing the versions is what did it in the end. Eclipse launched fine, now. Thanks for everyone's help!
edit: Apr 2018- Now is 8u161 and 8u162 (Just need one, I used 8u162 and it worked.)
JRE is a Run-Time Environment for running Java stuffs on your machine. What Eclipse needs is JDK as a Development Kit.
Install the latest JDK (and not JRE) from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html and you should be good on Mac!
Open up terminal and check what java version is currently set in your path variable.
You can do that by typing in your terminal
java -version // this will check your jre version.
javac -version // this will check your compiler version
If this shows incorrect java version but you have installed java 1.8 then you have to set path variable to the newer version of java.
To do that do add the line:
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/jdk1.x
to ~/.bash_profile (same as /Users/username/.bash_profile)
Then do this from the terminal to set the new variable
source ~/.bash_profile
Also what's your eclipse.ini set to ?
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
EDIT:
Please open up terminal and type
find / -name "java" // This should find all folder named java on your file system.
Also how did you install java in the first place ?
Echoing the answer, above, a full install of the JDK (8u121 at this writing) from here - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html - did the trick. Updating via the Mac OS Control Panel did not update the profile variable. Installing via the full installer, did. Then Eclipse was happy.
Here are steps:
download 1.8 JDK from this site
install it
copy the jre folder & paste it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\EclipseNeon\"
rename the folder to "jre"
start the eclipse again
It should work.
For some weird reason "Java SE Development Kit 8u151" gives this trouble. Just install, "Java SE Development Kit 8u152" from the following link-
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
It should work then.

Visual Studio 2013 Enterprise: Oracle Java SDK A more recent version of this software is required

Opening a sample Javascript project created by Microsoft, I get the error message:
"Oracle Java SDK A more recent version of this software is required"
I click on requirements link, then I accept Oracles download requirements. I download the x86 version (per Microsoft), though I have the newest 64-bit machine. I run it but no change, same error message.
What am I missing in this process?
Thanks for your help.
If we're talking about Visual Studio 2013 Community and Cordova development, then yes, it's listed as Javascript and yes, you need a certain version of the Oracle SDK.
From in VS2013C there's a "Instructions" link and then a "Oracle Java 7" link. It leads here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
FWIW, I haven't gotten this to work for me yet - but that's the link VS provided via MS docs.
I had the same error and was able to fix it by adding the jdk to the environment variable on my machine.
I had the same issue after installing some of the Cordova development tools after the original installation. I downloaded the updated JDK but it wasn't being recognised in my system. Information about this can be found here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn757054(v=vs.140).aspx#AdditionalTasks
If you modify any of the tools you are using then you need to ensure that your Environment Variables are configured correctly. A list of these variables are available here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn771551%20(v=vs.140).aspx#env_var
I chose to override the JAVA_HOME environment variable, instead of modifying them in the Computer Control Panel, to the latest version of the JDK I had installed - C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_45. This resolved the issue for me.

Android Studio failed to load JVM on Mac OSX (Mavericks)

I am trying to setup Android Studio on my Mac. It is running OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have installed the latest JDK (at the time of writing 1.7 update 45), and I installed Android Studio. I use Java 7 because I have some Java applications I have to run and they require 1.7. I have not installed Java 1.6, because it is ancient and old. Launching Android Studio from any launcher does literally nothing. Activity Manager never shows it running. I do not want to install Java 1.6.
I did some work and tried to run the executable via command line through the package contents, and for both executables, I get these messages:
I am unsure what I am supposed to do to fix this error. I'm not very adept on a Mac (still somewhat new to it, and its confusing to do power user stuff on this) so if anyone can help me figure it out that'd be great. I'm on the 2013 Macbook Air with plenty of resources for this to run.
Update: This also applies to Yosemite, El Capitan, and all the other versions of OSX that can run Android Studio.
Update 12/11/2014
As of Android Studio 1.0 RC3 you can follow this set of directions to make it work.
I figured it out. You have to edit the android studio's Info.plist file in the package so it uses 1.7. I don't get why Android Studio insists we install and use an outdated, vulnerable version of Java.
Full resolution: http://i.stack.imgur.com/yyYaG.png
To open the package you need to find the Android Studio.app file in the Applications folder and right click it > Show Package Contents.
Edit the plist (I think you might need to be root) and change JVMVersion from 1.6* to 1.7* (or 1.8*, or whatever JDK major version you have). I don't get why that made a difference since my original output said it was using 1.7 anyways.
This fix seems to apply to all of IntelliJ's IDEs (I've seen it on PyCharm as well), though other ones seem to support newer versions of java natively.
As answered by hasternet # Android Studio was unable to find a valid Jvm (Related to MAC OS)
For quick and dirty solution, Follow the answer by Mgamerz; open Android Studio in Finder (CTRL+Click > Show Package Contests > Contents > info.plist) and edit Key JVMOptions>JVMVersion from "1.6*" to "1.6+"
Recommended method as discovered by Antonio Jose is to edit environment variables in MacOS (messing with info.plist is not recommended)
either at program launch (opening the Studio through terminal rather than the icon)
$ export STUDIO_JDK=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk
$ open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
or setting up the environment through AppleScript at every MacOS startup:
do shell script "launchctl setenv STUDIO_JDK /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk"
do shell script "launchctl setenv STUDIO_PROPERTIES /Users/username/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/idea.properties"
do shell script "launchctl setenv STUDIO_VM_OPTIONS /Users/username/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/studio.vmoptions"
(Remember to save the script as Application. Antonio Jose managed with just the first line - AFAIK you can use .properties and .vmoptions to set up additional settings.)
Official instructions: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration/osx-jdk
(The reason why Android Studio want's to run off of JRE 1.6 is because it apparently makes the fonts look better - feel free to go through that "official" route and install JRE 1.6 # http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 - you can then set the JDK to 1.8 in the SDK Location settings - local.properties)
mgamerz is right - The release notes give a much better solution for rc3 and onwards - theres a idea.properties file
(or environment variable)
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/idea.properties
it also shows what environment variables you can use to set things like the jdk
export STUDIO_JDK=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_67.jdk
ref : http://tools.android.com/recent/androidstudio1rc3_releasecandidate3released
I did below command on Mac Terminal to fix this problem, please make sure java version and path.
$java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
$ export STUDIO_JDK=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk
$ open /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
Hey Friends I just Figured it out a simple way to fix this for Mac users.
Open Terminal and type this -> java -version and hit enter.
Output will be something like this:
Now check your Java Version. My Java version is 1.8
So now we need to Open Contents of our Android App.
For that right click the Android.app and then select Show Contents
Like this
Now there will be Content folder, Open that Folder and there you will find Info.plist
Open this info.plist
And you will see this.
In this expand the JVM
Here you will see the JVM version showing 1.6* but our jvm version is 1.8 (for example my jvm version is 1.8)
So we need to change this number according to our jvm version, so i changed it to version 1.8*
Then click save. And you are done.
Now you will see setup wizard running
And you are ready to start your first android programming app.
Here is the Whole Docx file for Android Studio Setup in Mac X
LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jwjebn5hgydyll/Android%20Studio%20Setup%20on%20Mac.docx?dl=0
I found that downloading an extra Java bundle from Apple fixed the issue.
If you search for this problem then I found the second link was to a blog having exactly this problem, all credit goes to him here
I know that posting links isn't an answer but as you can see from the resolution you need to make sure you have an up to date version of Java and also the Java bundle from Apple, for this reason I have also included the searches needed to get to these websites.
Here is where to download the latest version of Java
If this link is broken then searching "java latest version" return it at the top of the Google list
Here is where to download the Apple Bundle
If this link is broken then searching "Java for OS X 2014-001" returns it at the top of the Google list
For me trying to solve this problem it appears that initially it was an issue that required a work around and then Apple released an official work around download meaning that fiddling in plists is not necessary any more.
