This problem arises due to incompatible JDK version   Download and install latest JDK currently its 8  from java official site in case you are using previous versions  Then in Android Studio go to File- Project Structure- SDK location -  JDK location and set it to  C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 121   Default location of JDK   Gradle sync your project and you are all set

C  Program Files Android Android Studio jre bin gt java -version openjdk version  1 8 0 76-release  OpenJDK Runtime Environment  build 1 8 0 76-release-b03  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM  build 25 76-b03  mixed mode    Somehow the Studio installer would install another version under     C  Program Files Android Android Studio jre jre bin gt java -version openjdk version  1 8 0 76-release  OpenJDK Runtime Environment  build 1 8 0 76-release-b03  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM  build 25 76-b03  mixed mode    where the latest version was installed the Java DevKit installer in     C  Program Files Java jre1 8 0 121 bin gt java -version java version  1 8 0 121  Java TM  SE Runtime Environment  build 1 8 0 121-b13  Java HotSpot TM  64-Bit Server VM  build 25 121-b13  mixed mode    Need to clean up the Android Studio so it would use the proper latest 1 8 0 versions   According to How to set Java SDK path in AndroidStudio   one could override with a specific JDK but when I renamed   C  Program Files Android Android Studio jre jre    to   C  Program Files Android Android Studio jre oldjre    And restarted Android Studio  it would complain that the jre was invalid  When I tried to aecify an JDK to pick the one in C  Program Files Java jre1 8 0 121 bin or     C  Program Files Java jre1 8 0 121    It said that these folders are invalid   So I guess that the embedded version must have some special purpose

Generally speaking  it is set in the  Project Structure  dialog   Go to File   Project Structure   SDK Location  The third field is  JDK Location  where you can set it  This will set it for the current project      To set the default for new projects  go to File   Other Settings   Default Project Structure   SDK Location and set the  JDK Location    Older Versions  Go to File   Project Structure    Platform Settings    SDKs  You ll need to either update you current SDK configuration to use the new directory  or define a new one and then change your project s settings to use the new one  This will set it for the current project   To set the default for new projects  go to File   Other Settings   Structure for New Projects    Platform Settings    SDKs and set the SDK to use when creating a new project

I tried updating all of my SDKs by just going into the Project Structure   Platform Settings   SDKs and changing the Java SDK  but that didn t work  so I had to recreate the configurations from scratch    Here s how to create your SDKs with the latest Java    In Project Structure   Platform Settings   SDKs  click the     button to add a new SDK  In the pop-up  go into your Android SDK folder and click  Choose  Another pop-up will appear asking for which SDK and JDK you want to use  Choose any Android SDK and the 1 7 JDK  Go to Project Structure   Project Settings   Project and change your Project SDK to the one you just created  You should see the name of the SDK contain the new Java version that you installed

Go to File gt Project Structure gt JDK location   Here  you have to set the directory path exactly same  in which you have installed the java version   Also  you have to mention the paths of SDK for project run on emulator successfully    Why This Problem Occurs  It is due to the unsynchronized java version directory that should be available to Android Studio for java code compilance
