Android Studio behaves weird in the case  Even though you set the JDK version in File -  Project Structure -  SDK Location  Android Studio only uses this for compiling the files  When it runs these files it  for some reason  looks at the PATH variable to find where java is installed   If you have an older version of java installed on your system  then your PATH variable will be pointing to that older version of java   So you  have to set your PATH to point to the same version of java that have set in your Android studio project settings   In your    bashrc or corresponding profile file add this      export PATH   Applications studio app Contents jre jdk Contents Home bin  PATH    In my case my project was configured to use java 1 8  but my system wide installation of java was java 1 7  This was causing the issue

If you re seeing this error and you just upgraded to Android Studio 2 2  you need to update your JDK in  Project Structure  options   On OSX  this is found under File  gt  Project Structure  gt  SDK   Or from the welcome screen in Configure  gt  Project Defaults  gt  Project Structure   Select the Use the embedded JDK  recommended  option instead of using your own JDK     Google s docs aren t yet updated to reflect this change   See  http   tools android com tech-docs configuration osx-jdk
