I just ran into a similar problem as lopsided98 had and tried all the solutions on here also and no results. then I remembered that I had to add an environment variable to locate java before i could get android studio to start in the first place so I just tried adding a new system variable for Android_home and directed it to my android folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Android . Just like I had done when setting up java and then it started up with no problems. SDK manager is also up and working now. I hope this helps, if you're still having problems

This was what i had found when setting up the java part and just thought I might give it a try for android too.

On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.

Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties.

Then open Advanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21.
