What AS install does not do is set the variables/registry keys LC expects when looking for an appropriate JDK (so the JDK bundled inside AS is not found by the LC IDE).

However, in investigating what AS installs I found that version 2.2+ comes with its own OpenJDK - see (since June 2016 Google's install instructions for Android Studio dropped any reference to installing a JDK).

bat files once AS is installed, these batch files branch depending on if Windows is version 'NT' or not - if not, it's assumed to be Win95/WinME! Mind-boggling to think that at the cutting edge of Android development (1gb of RAM for AS/emulator to run) they are providing for Win95 users. I'm not really surprised by this confusion, as there were plenty of other misleading trails when the fix is really simple.Īndroid Studio version is 4+ (the downloaded file has 201 in the crazy numbering). JDK Path: D:/Programs/Android/Android Studio/jre SDK path (Windows) in the LC Prefs windows looks like this:īelow it the JDK path needs to look like this: I must have spent more than 8 hours trying to figure this out (on both Windows and OS X), involving multiple installs of JDK/Android Studio on both.Ī) The Livecode lesson is wrong (since 2016 Android Studio does not need a separate JDK install),ī) how LC preferences pane looks up the relevant JDK is way too complex (the IDE needs to just set the path based on the Android Studio (AS) install (which is different to the AS SDK path). I was staggered to see that for years users have been struggling with setting up for Android and since following the Lesson and reading various possible solutions in Forum posts but nothing worked for me, I decided to get to the bottom of the problem so that others don't have to go through this frustrating experience.

Many people have been confused by these instructions in recent years (for example: viewtopic.php?t=26477 and here: ). Like many people on this forum in recent years, I got the 'Java: none' error after installing Java 1.8 and then installing Android Studio (as per instructions from Livecode here.
