Android Studio Error "Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8"

Question

I downloaded the newest Android Studio, and I wanted to run the Android Jetpack Compose Project, but when I ran it, I got the error:

> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'. > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8. You can try some of the following options: - changing the IDE settings. - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable. - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

I already downloaded Java 11 and added Java 11 in gradle.properties.

org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.10.jdk/Contents/Home

The JAVA_HOME shows Java 11, but when I run, it doesn't work - /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.10.jdk/Contents/Home

How should I do?

My Android Studio version

My Java version

Make sure that your Gradle is using the proper JDK. Try running ./gradlew --version in your project's directory. The output should be something like this:

Gradle 7.0-rc-2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Build time: 2021-04-01 21:26:39 UTC Revision: 912a3368b654b71250dfc925a20d620393 Kotlin: 1.4.31 Groovy: 3.0.7 Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.9 compiled on September 27 2020 JVM: 11.0.10 (Ubuntu 11.0.10+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.10) OS: Linux 5.11.4-051104-generic amd64

If the JVM points to version 1.8 then you should change it in settings. You can find it in Preferences → Build, Execution, Deployment → Build Tools → Gradle → *Gradle JDK.

Changing Gradle JDK to 11, Clean Project, Rebuild Project worked for me! Please also check whether your jvmTarget, sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility is set to java 11

compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11 } kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = '11' }

Volodymyr Buberenko Over a year ago

@ismailshah You need to put it into build.gradle file of your project. But, I believe it won't help. Make sure that your system (OS) has Java 11, since just changing Gradle settings didn't help me. On MacOS I used sdkman to install and use jdk 11. After installing I saw in ./gradlew -verion proper value for user Java and project started building fine again.

If you are using Android Studio (Arctic Fox 2020.3.1) on Windows 10.

This is how you fix the Build failed error:

Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8

Open the Project Structure...

(from the Toolbar)

(or from the File Menu)
Click on the Gradle Settings link
Select the correct Java JDK from the Gradle JDK drop-down list

NOTE: If you cannot find the correct Java JDK, then you'll first need to download and install it...

In Android Studio Hedgehog 2023.1.1, the setting for the Gradle JDK is moved to Android Studio -> Settings/Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle.
I can't see this option in Android Studio Jellyfish 2023.3.1...

Android Studio Arctic Fox (4.2) with 2020.3.1 Patch 3 - Mac

You just need to choose the embedded JDK version 11.0.10 from the Gradle settings of preferences.

This is how I fixed it on macOS.

./gradlew --version

Go to Preference → Build, Execution, Deployment → Gradle

Change the Gradle JDK to your latest version.

I have only one JDK (Microsoft build OpenJDK 17) installed before installing Android Studio. For unknown reasons, a JDK 1.8 has been installed along Android Studio and set as the Gradle default at /Users/<username>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/corretto-1.8.0_322

On macOS M1 I solved it by the following steps.

Opened file ~/.zshrc in Visual Studio Code

Added this line:

export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home"

Saved the file
Reloaded the terminal with modified file by running
```
source ~/.zshrc 
```
testing if the changes have been loaded by running
```
echo $JAVA_HOME 
```
Verified that the correct location is displaying.
Verified that the Gradle is displaying correct Java 11 version by running
```
cd android ./gradlew --version 
```

And here is the result:

------------------------------------------------------------ Gradle 7.3.3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Build time: 2021-12-22 12:37:54 UTC Revision: 6f556c80f945dc54b50e0be633da6c62dbe8dc71 Kotlin: 1.5.31 Groovy: 3.0.9 Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.11 compiled on July 10 2021 JVM: 11.0.12 (JetBrains s.r.o. 11.0.12+0-b1504.28-7817840) OS: Mac OS X 12.2.1 aarch64

Tried to build it again by running:

yarn android

And it's succeeded.

In Android Studio Electric Eel version, it should be export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home". Simply change jre with jbr.

IntelliJ is so frustrating. So it did this with every project. Now I'm at one of my WearOS projects, got this complaint, changed it to the Studio's Java (1.17 I think). Now I'm getting Invalid Gradle JDK configuration found..

CoolMind · Accepted Answer · 2022-10-24 19:00:36Z

I got this error when I started gradlew ktlintFormat in the Terminal of Arctic Fox build.

I opened Project Structure (menu File → Project Structure) and selected Java 11, but it didn't help even after a restart of Android Studio.
Then I changed the Java path in Settings (see the accepted answer), but it didn't help. You should set it.
I tried to change Windows system variables and changed JAVA_HOME.

(A short way: run cmd with administrative rights and write: setx /M JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.11", and then restart Android Studio)

Press Win+X, press "System", and enter "va".

I pressed Edit button and "Browse Directory...", and then selected JRE (or JDK) folder (without bin) of Java 11. Then OK, and OK (as always).
I opened cmd (command line in Windows) and typed: %JAVA_HOME%. It wrote me this error:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Looking at Setting the JAVA_HOME Variable in Windows, I found that we should replace Program Files with Progra~1 (yes, this DOS trick still works). So, replace JAVA_HOME again like in the picture below (C:\Progra~1\Android\Androi~1\jre).
Restart Android Studio or reset the computer.

I had same problem on MacOS. Set Gradle JDK to version 11 and the build now works.
compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11 } kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = "11" useIR = true } >>>>>>>> is it necessary to add in gradle file when we migrate to java 11 ??
@GyanSwaroopAwasthi, thanks for a notice. In one project we use JavaVersion.VERSION_11 and jvmTarget (JavaVersion.VERSION_11.toString()), as you wrote. I think, after this changes Android Studio will ask to upgrade to Java 11.
that really help me, thank you! Finally I just downloaded last java machine and install it. After laptop reboot version changed!

My solution still works as of today, you can choose the latest version like Amazon Corretto 20...

You can solve it in this simple way.

Go to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk16-downloads.html
Download the JDK ZIP file of your system. (Let’s say Windows)
Extract it in any folder with high permissions under your PC main directory
Now open and Go to your Android studio project structure located at men File* → Project structure.
And paste the directory where you unzipped the JDK version here. As you see, mine is JDK 16 as at now and installed in that directory as seen in the picture:

compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11 } kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = "11" useIR = true } >>>>>>>> is it necessary to add in gradle file when we migrate to java 11 ??

I got this error when I updated one of the dependencies in Android Studio that requires Java 11. You just need to follow these steps.

Download the Java 11. For Mac, download a .dmg file and for Windows a ZIP file. Link: Download Java 11
Select options at Android studio

Follow the steps and choose your newly saved Java SDK

I think this would probably be better suited for local.properties if you care about best practices.

vivanov Over a year ago

And not only for "VS Code" users, but also in cases where Android Studio doesn't provide the "Gradle projects" section within the settings, as is in my case. I think this may be because it doesn't recognize the project as a "gradle" based project when you open a Flutter project.

For macOS users

The bundled JDK into macOS is 1.8, but now we need 11. Make Gradle use AndroidStudio's JDK for building the project:

Into file <PROJECT_ROOT>/gradle.properties, add line:

org.gradle.java.home=/Users/.../Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/.../Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home

Note: If you're not use Jetbrains Toolbox and you've installed Android Studio into /Application, use this path instead (thanks to @AndrewBekhtold):

org.gradle.java.home=/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home

On Mac, only setting JAVA_HOME to JDK 11 embedded to Android Studio helped.

I did it with this command in the command line:

export JAVA_HOME=ENTER_PATH_TO_JDK_HERE

PATH_TO_JDK could be something like /Users/userName/Library/Application\ Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/203.7583922/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home

Just updating Java to 11 on my Mac actually helped. Gradle seems to use the system Java version when called from the terminal (even in the terminal within Android Studio).

I was just having the same problem -

All the solutions here are helpful for Java 11. But if you don't want to upgrade to Java 11 then you should just downgrade Android Gradle plugin (ADP) to 4.X as shown below:

⚠️ Note: this is a solution if you are getting this error on the GitHub Actions Pipeline

If you are using Java 11 in your project, but the GitHub Action Pipeline that builds the application is set to use Java 1.8, you will get this error.

To fix it, replace the following:

 - name: set up JDK 1.8 uses: actions/setup-java@v1 with: java-version: 1.8

with:

 - name: set up JDK 11 uses: actions/setup-java@v3 with: distribution: 'zulu' java-version: 11

If you are getting this on the Github Actions Pipeline, you could change the Step in the Action .yml File that is under the .github/workflows folder on your Project.
Although this does not answer the OP question, it is related to the topic and is helpful! Thanks!

Peter Mortensen · Accepted Answer · 2021-11-15 18:16:44Z

I have concluded that Gradle calls the version of Java installed on the system, regardless of Android Studio settings.

On macOS, check the list of installed Java versions in the system with the command:

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

If there is no Java 11 or higher among them, you will get an error like the author of the question.

The solution is to install the Java 11 or higher.

The second solution is to make a symlink in the folder ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ to the JRE embedded in Android Studio with the command:

ln -s "/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre" "~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/Android Studio Default JRE"

Additionally you can add this line to ~/.zshenv:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/libexec/java_home

You can get installation paths for different Java versions if needed:

/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11

or

/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8

Other above answers have you check the java version in Android Studio. This shows I already have java 11 installed. Following your steps to check using /usr/libexec/java_home -V is what helped me.

I solved it by adding this to the gradle.properties file:

But your Java 11 may be located in a different directory.

I ran into a similar problem when trying to run the benchmarking samples for the first time.

The instructions to run the sample were to execute

./gradlew macrobenchmark:cC

in the IDE terminal, but in my case this resulted with the same error.

I had tried the accepted answer above from M Tomczyński above, but that didn't work for me. I believe this was as a result of my existing config for JAVA_HOME (which can be found here).

This also meant that option 2, changing my JAVA_HOME config, wasn't an option.

The change which did work for me though was option 3 in the suggestions above. I checked the path for Java 11 from the answer above and added that into gradle.properties, and then sync'd gradle as per the IDE prompt, and re-ran the macrobenchamark gradle command successfully.

org.gradle.java.home=/Applications/Android Studio Preview.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home

Changing the Gradle JDK to 11 worked for me in Android Studio Arctic Fox (4.2):

Step 1:

Navigate to: menu File → Setting → Build, Execution, Deployment → Build Tools → Gradle

Step 2:

Change Gradle JDK to 11, below the Gradle Projects.

Step 3:

Apply, and Rebuild Project!

Add the Java Home path to wrapper.properties

Changing the Gradle JDK in Android Studio Preferences didn't work for me.

But I was able to correct the JDK by adding the org.gradle.java.home path in the gradle-wrapper.properties file.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-all.zip # I had to add this line (macOS) org.gradle.java.home=/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home

I found the JAVA_HOME path by going to menu File → Project Structure → SDKs → Choose the JDK you want to use → JDK home path.

After that, I was able again to run Gradle Wrapper (gradlew) commands.

I had tried everything including resetting my IDE settings, changing JAVA_HOME, etc. This finally did worked.

If you don't want to use JDK 11 and still want to use JDK 1.8, you can revert back the Android plugins as below.

plugins { id 'com.android.application' version '4.2.0' apply false id 'com.android.library' version '4.2.0' apply false }

If you run into this problem from the terminal in Android Studio, you should configure JAVA_HOME in your environment into Java 11, set the Gradle JDK in Preferences can't solve. I guess that running Gradle from the terminal and running Gradle from the IDE are not the same process and they use different JDK location.

None of the previous answers worked for me in Android Studio 4.2 (Arctic Fox), 2020.3.1 Patch 3.

Only adding org.gradle.java.home=<Path-to-JDK-v11> to gradle.properties worked in my case.

If you are using Linux, just add org.gradle.java.home=/opt/android-studio/jre.

Worked for me when nothing else suggested here did, Win10, AS 4.1.1
