Question

I just downloaded the Android Studio. While trying to run it, I had to modify the environment variable and add

JAVA_HOME

and

<

Answer 1

Recently I am working with the 1.8.0_25 JDK version on Windows 8.1 and I had the same problem with this. But as PankaJ Jakhar said

The real solution for me was pretty simple:

1. Add the JAVA_HOME variable to the system ones, not on the user ones.

2. The path I introduced for this variable was:

   C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\
   

And it works for me!

Answer 2

Follow @abs solution

If you still continue to get the error even after setting the JAVA_HOME variable Copy the studio folder to your C drive and then run the studio.exe or studio64.exe depending upon your java versio

Answer 3

i think you are doing every thing fine just remove ";" from the last of java_home variable. every thing will work fine.

Answer 4

Point your JAVA_HOME variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_xx\ where "xx" is the update number (make sure this matches your actual directory name). Do not include bin\javaw.exe in the pathname.

NOTE: You can access the Environment Variables GUI from the CLI by entering rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables. Be sure to put the 'JAVA_HOME' path variable in the System variables rather than the user variables. If the path variable is in User the Android Studio will not find the path.

Answer 5

It is absolutely possible that all other answers work for people but for me this path worked:

Leave your JDK path under JAVA_HOME System Variable as it is given here. Do not append bin or another path. It worked for me.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\

Otherwise I am getting this error:
