Android SDK fails to find Java

Question

I have Java 8 update 25 installed with JDK 8.25. My problem is when I try to install the Android SDK tools, it gives me an error "..can't write in file java_find.exe" which I automatically understood as it can't find Java on my computer.

I have these two in my path variable:

C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_25/bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_25/bin

What's wrong? The first time I installed the SDK tools, the SDK manager worked fine but now it just opens the command prompt and closes quickly.

Answer 1

Add a system variable named JAVA_HOME and set it to C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_25

Answer 2

Check if u've got the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Check if the bin folder of your java installation is in the path and even if it is already there, move it to be the first one of the line.

It should work.
