I was having the same issue. But my JDK Location field can choose 1.6 or 1.7.How? On Sunday, August 21, 2016 at 3:52:08 AM UTC+8, johnso...@gmail.com wrote: I was having the same issue. Try going to File → Project Structure and make sure the *JDK Location* field is set to a JDK that is 1.8. If not, click the … next to that field to select the proper JDK. - Johnson On Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 11:38:49 AM UTC-7, Brad Hill wrote: Hi all, This is my first post. I installed Android Studio 2.1.3. I've also install Java 1.8. Studio however is still giving me this error: Windows 10 Android Studio 2.1.3 Error:Buildtools 24.0.1 requires Java 1.8 or above. Current JDK version is 1.7. It's probably a "rookie" mistake. I appreciate any help!
