Just a last thing (which may seem odd): actually, before I updated the message was regarding the JDK version, and Android Studio could not even render the application look. After the message concerns more Java version (not JDK) and the application look is rendered, but it does not COMPILE the project. Install jdk 1.8 for android studio in windows 10/8.1/7 just in few step. I'm using Android Studio 3.0, in which the embedded JDK version is 8. To find the version in any later version though, go to SDKINSTALLROOT/jre/ and find THIRDPARTYREADME. THIRDPARTYREADME is in my system defined as a file and not a txt file. You can open it in Notepad, Notepad or any other text editor. The content is plain text.

I have a same problem for days. I found a solution which worked from me on Windows. (I also set environment variables, but don't know whether it's needed.)

Jdk 1.8 For Android Studio 64-bit

Add these lines to build.gradle file:

Source: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=203850

I use Android Studio and recently got the error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. compileSdkVersion 'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to compile.

But I have JDK 1.8 installed already:

:Users..>java -version
java version '1.8.0_91' Java(TM) SE Runtime
Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b15) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
(build 25.91-b15, mixed mode)

How to fix it? Thanks

I installed latest jdk but it was using the older one until I did this:

Replace the old JDK path with your new jdk path.
