I downloaded this "https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk11-downloads.html#license-lightbox" Java JDK and installed it.
But when I go to the command prompt to check the version, it says
Error: could not open 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_241\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'
Can someone solve my problem?
Simply uninstall the java version from the control panel and it will work.
To resolve the issue of C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg do the following steps and re-run the cmd :
1) Go to C:\Windows\System32
2) Search for Java in that folder
3) Remove java.exe, javaws.exe and javaw.exe from this folder
4) Open command prompt.
5) Type Java it should work.
->Firstly uninstall Java(any version) here it is 1.8
->Then Goto->environment variable-> Check the java path which is appended[in my case a default java was installed] i had to remove it
->Now install java 1.8
->then set the java path for the "PATH" variable = %JAVA_HOME%\bin
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111
->Open Command prompt and give java -version to verify the installation.
Only Windows OS problem. Remove from system32 you kept trash in other locations where java has installed (updates example). Just reinstall java will help. Situation to gain that error may be different (my situation when java location was different than java update I installed long ago). Add/remove java solved problem.
I want to install the android SDK command line tool version 25.2.3 on my Windows 10 x64 pc. I've installed Java SDK and created two system variables JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME which point to the corresponding path, but it still doesn't work. I can't do the next-previous-solution since I want to install the command line version. I've attached an image showing the error and the system variables. Thanks in advance!
You have set JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME but, missed to set Java's bin directory to be able to execute java, javac etc commands. Do to so, set PATH(replace first java entry) to include Java's bin directory as JAVA_HOME\bin.
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'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.

When I clicked SDK Manager on Program Files or run it in cmd, nothing happened. I did:
Installed latest JDK
Installed latest Android SDK
Set environment JAVA_HOME and put %JAVA_HOME%\bin in path variable**
Actually a black cmd window appears and disappears a milliseconds.
How to fix it?
Edit:
I Googled day by day but can't find a solution for this. Even I set path for ANDROID_SWT it also can't run. I suspect that Android SDK has bug in its installation package.
Android installation - sdk manager.exe does not work
Android installation/SDK Manager issues
I'm totally exhausted and this is the last my try:
Uninstall JDK, Android SDK, remove all ANDROID or JAVA environment variables
reinstall JDK and Android SDK
But nothing changes.
Edit:
Actually this is the second time I meet this problem. I got this problem only after I added more Environment variables for Ant and Maven. This is the summary:
Install Windows XP SP3 --> Install JDK --> Install Android SDK --> Open SDK Manager and it works! --> append some more "bin" path of Ant and Maven in "path" variable --> Open SDK Manager and it doesn't open --> I rolled back by removing all environment variables --> SDK Manager still no opens! That's very strange! --> It is stranger when I reinstall JDK and Android SDK, it still no opens! :(
Step #1: Open up a command prompt.
Step #2: Use the cd command to move to wherever you installed your Android SDK.
Step #3: Run tools\android.
If that does not work, you should have information dumped to the command prompt that will help you diagnose your setup problem.
I was getting the error "C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command"
Followed by loads of "unable to copy file"
Followed by something about Android_SWT not being able to be found.
The way I fixed the problem on my system (Windows 8, 64 bit, JDK 7) was:
Create JAVA_HOME environment variable and point it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin
Open ANDROID SDK DIRECTORY\tools\android.bat in your favorite text editor
Find the lines set java_exe= call lib\find_java.bat (it's split over 2 lines)
Replace the lines with set java_exe="%JAVA_HOME%\java.exe"
Save and run tools\android.bat
The problem was that the the space in the path was not being handled correctly. By wrapping the path in quotation marks, the space is then correctly catered for.
I had the same problem.
when i run \tools\android.bat, i got the exception:
Exception in thread main
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/android/sdkmanager/Main
My resolved method:
edit \tools\android.bat
find "%jar_path%;%swt_path%\swt.jar"
modify to "%tools_dir%\%jar_path%;%tools_dir%\%swt_path%\swt.jar"
save, and run SDK Manager.exe again
After a lot of searching and trying different methods, I found the solution to the problem at my end: SDK Manager couldn't find my profile directory. After setting the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME (I set mine to a newly created folder C:\Android), SDK manager started no prob.
I have Wondows 7 64 bit (MacBook Pro), installed both Java JDK x86 and x64 with JAVA_HOME pointing at x32 during installation of Android SDK, later after installation JAVA_HOME pointing at x64.
My problem was that Android SDK manager didn't launch, cmd window just flashes for a second and that's it. Like many others looked around and tried many suggestions with no juice!
My solution was in adding bin the JAVA_HOME path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin
instead of what I entered for the start:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09
Hope this helps others.... good luck!

The solution was to disable McAfee 8.8. Apparently some recent update is now blocking my Android environment.
The way I solved your last problem was by right clicking the android.bat file, and chose edit with notepad++. I then went down to the part of the program where it had this bit of code:
cd /d %~dp0
It was also some other lines of code, but I deleted them. After deleting these other lines I simply just wrote(under the cd /d %~dp0):
cd Program Files
cd java
cd jdk1.7.0_03
cd bin
I dont know here you java.exe file is located but mine was at lest located there.
I ran into this problem: I'd get the error

I got this solved by copying the swt file from eclipse into the tools directory. If you search in the directory you have Eclipse installed there is an SWT dll, named something like swt-win32-<4-digits>.dll (mine was named swt-win32-3740.dll): I copied that into the tools directory, and everything worked after that.
I solved my problem opening android.bat inside sdk/tools and setting the java_exe property, which was empty.
set java_exe="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java"
Similar to sixty9 I renamed java.exe, javaw.exe, javaws.exe (I never delete files when troubleshooting) after I created a JAVA_HOME environment variable and added path variables.
I had installed the Java SDK on my D:\ drive ( instead of the default).
Create a JAVA_HOME variable: Variable Name: %JAVA_HOME% Value: D:\Program Files\Java.
Added the following to the Path variable:
%JAVA_HOME%\jre7\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jdk1.7.0_03\bin;
Renamed java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe.
Restarted the system and the Android SDK installer found my JDK and installed successfully.
I add new environment variable "ANDROID_SDK_HOME" and set it, like my path to android SDK folder (c:/Android) and it's work!
And if tools\android works for you while .exe doesn't, it's probably the x64 java.
It started working when i completely uninstalled JDK with JRE (shows as separate option in windows uninstal control panel applet) and android sdk and reinstalled using x86 version.
Why does it worth the time, you may ask? Well, such an inconsistency obvoiusly means that amount of testing with x64 java is zero and so you can probably experience many other failures in the future.
Finally got this torterous SDK to run.
When installing 32bit Java on 64bit windows system, set ANDROID_SWT to e:\android-sdk\tools\lib\x86
not ..\x86_64
Dear Android SDK team,
I genuinely hope some serious attention is being paid to these problems. SDK should be effortless to set up. This is how you lose customers to other platforms where this kind of thing is a one-click ordeal.
I was going to buy another android device to test my game on, but after last 2 days trying to traverse the maze of your incompetence I think i'll just stick with iOS as my main development target.
I solved this problem, which occured for me after manually installing the ADT (4.2/api 17) bundle on Windows 7 64 bit in C:\Program Files.
The steps I had to take:
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation directory of the (64 bit) JDK, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11 in my case.
Run SDK Manager as administrator at least once. SDK Manager allows you to change files in Program Files, so you should give it the proper access rights.
None of the Solution worked for me
Just open sdk/tools/
Edit android.bat
Replace set java_exe="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_13\bin\java.exe" //your java path
Copy the sdk manager and avd from any tools/lib if its not in sdk/ base folder
I FINALLY GOT THIS WORKING AFTER 2 SOUL DESTROYING EVENINGS OF TRYING! IF I EVER MEET AN ANDROID SDK DEVELOPER I WILL HACK HIM TO DEATH WITH HIS OWN KEYBOARD
Anyway, tips for getting it working on Windows 7 64 bit...
I suspect for me it was multiple problems as none of the suggestions worked so I will list all the things I did to finally get it working
1) Install the 32 BIT version of Java JDK (yes, even if you are running 64bit Windows)
2) Install both the SDK and the JDK to paths that have no spaces in (I used C:\Android and C:\Java32)
3) In the Windows environment variables screen (System Properties > Advanced Settings > Env vars), there's two places you can enter the variables, the "User Variables" and "System variables". I put them in both and included the "bin" bit in both e.g.
JAVA_HOME = C:\Java32\jdk1.8.0_20\bin
Path = C:\Java32\jdk1.8.0_20\bin;other paths should come AFTER the jdk...
4) Edit the file tools\android.bat and look for the following:
set java_exe=
call lib\find_java.bat
change this to:
set java_exe="C:\Java32\jdk1.8.0_20\bin\java.exe"
rem call lib\find_java.bat
You can also put the "#echo off" to "#echo on" at the top of the file for debugging purposes
Good luck!
I had this same problem and after trying a variety of things like changing the path variables I went to java.com on a whim and downloaded java, installed, and lo and behold the sdk manager worked after that.
Had the same problem and tried everything I browse in several forums till I found a clue, then finally solved the problem.
Basically I installed the SDK and worked ok, then my Windows Vista crashed, on restart I run SDK again but it only opened a CMD window which closed immediately.
So here's a list of useless things I did:
Went to CMD "d:/java/android/tool" and execute "android.bat", didn't work and show an pointer exception error.
Reinstalled the whole thing JDK + SDK
Changed the system path to a new folder
I traced and deleted all android occurrences on Regedit
At this point I was seriously considering start learning objetive-c was not a bad idea, finally I did this:
delete ".android" folder from "c:/users/youruser/"
delete all files within "c:/users/youruser/AppData/Local/Temp"
reinstall SDK
it WORKED !! I'm not sure though if is necessary to uninstall SDK (since I had again to download all packages & platforms) and just clear the temp folder.
Hope this helps.
I fixed this issue by reinstalling it in Program Files, it originally tried to install it in c:/Users/.../AppData/Android/....
Mine was caused by a user permission issue that running as admin didn't seem to fix (perhaps because they call batch files?).
I had the same problem, running X64 Java (1.7.0_03-b05). Even though I had both C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin listed in my path, it wouldn't start - just flashed a command prompt.
The tools\lib\find_java.bat file was reporting that it was attempting to run C:\Windows\system32\java.exe but failed. Huh? I checked, and found outdated copies of java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe in my C:\Windows\system32. How did those get there, I didn't put them there!
I deleted those three files from C:\Windows\system32 and the problem was fixed.
Thinking about it, the problem likely would have been fixed by making sure thatC:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin were at the START of my PATH variable instead of tacked onto the end.
I was experiencing the UnsatisfiedLinkError on Windows 7 64-bit after installing adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717.zip:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-win32-3550 or swt-win32 in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file
The root cause was that McAfee has a feature that blocks loading DLL's from the temporary directory. This is a problem because android.bat copies a bunch of JAR and DLL files to a temporary directory and runs the program from there, to make it easy to upgrade the app in-place.
This feature can be disabled, however. You can either disable "Access Protection" altogether or only disable the feature that blocks loading DLLs from temporary folders.
I had the same issue!
I had installed the ADT bundle 64-bit, so I downloaded Java 64-bit. I messed around with paths and things, but the thing that fixed it in the end was installing Java 32-bit.
The easy fix is to install both versions. You can download them manually here.
Good luck!
When I clicked SDK Manager on Program Files or run it in cmd, nothing happened
One of your problems is Long File Names in Windows. A number of the Android tools cannot handle them. I filed a bug report on them years ago, but I can't find it at the moment. I also seem to recall something about it in the INSTALL or README.
So you should install the tools in a location without spaces. Use something like C:\Android\ or C:\Android-SDK\.
#Steve and #MeatPopsicle already mentioned spaces in the pathames, but it can't be overstated.
Actually a black cmd window appears and disappears a milliseconds.
...
Even I set path for ANDROID_SWT
Out of curiosity, where did ANDROID_SWT come from?
I know Android does use ANDROID_HOME, ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT, and the last two should both be set because the tools use them internally. Here's the reference on ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT: Recommended NDK Directory?.
So you should set the three environmental variables (after ensuring the installation directory does not contain spaces):
ANDROID_HOME
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
ANDROID_NDK_ROOT
ANDROID_HOME is set to the directory where the hidden directory .android is.
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is set to the directory where the SDK is installed, like C:\Android-SDK\.
ANDROID_NDK_ROOT is set to the directory where the NDK is installed, like C:\Android-NDK\. If its not installed, then don't set it.
Once you have ANDROID_SDK_ROOT set, you can put %ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\tools and %ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\platform-tools on PATH. Then, you can drop into a command line and issue something like this (and it just works):
adb list
What I did was:
set a new environment variable in the top user section.
VARIABLE NAME: JAVA_HOME
VARIABLE VALUE: set it to the installation directory of your most recent JDK.
For me it was, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_13 . Run SDK Manager as administrator at least once. I use windows 7. This method worked for me after a lot of research.
What I dont understand is when using 'where java' in the command prompt it still references C:\Windows\System32\java.exe. My SDK Manager now opens when I need it so I solved my problem.
find_java.exe doesn't seem to like the openjdk "java -version" output. I edited find_java.bat like this:
for /f %%a in ('%~dps0\find_java.exe -s') do set java_exe=%%a
set java_exe="C:\Program Files (x86)\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.242.08-hotspot\bin\java.exe"
rem ...
for /f %%a in ('%~dps0\find_java.exe -s -w') do set javaw_exe=%%a
set javaw_exe="C:\Program Files (x86)\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.242.08-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe"
