Did you try to resolve the error shown in the bottom? Maybe it doesn't accept new settings if you do not
change this? – Bernhard 2 days ago

@Bernhard, No, this warning is useless, AS worked fine before i update buildTools to 24.0.1 – Werder 2

I think you need to update your path variable and add your jdk location to it . Studio must be
automatically getting path from your environment variable and replacing your path .

The JDK 1.8 does not seem to be fully supported by Android Studio because the Android
platform does not support Java 8 as it is currently.

You can see this link for more information. Is JDK 1.8 fully supported by Android Studio?

No, i use AndroidStudio 2.1.3, and i have error: Error:Buildtools 24.0.1 requires Java 1.8 or above. Current
JDK version is 1.7. – Werder 2 days ago

There might be an other issue then. Buildtools 24.0.1 should not require Java 8. Looks like preview version
of Android N has support for Java 8 developer.android.com/preview/j8-jack.html Could you add your gradle
files for debugging reference? – Miro 2 days ago

use Android Studio 2.2 preview 7 version this only support


java 8

Then you can use java 8 features :)

Uninstall Java JDK7 and install JDK8, or set JDK8 as default Java VM in
your OS.
