Android Studio is giving me a Gradle build error that looks like this:
Error:(3, 22) compileSdkVersion android-22 requires compiling with JDK 7
Now it gives me these clickable prompts:
Download JDK 7
Select a JDK from the File System
Open build.gradle File
And I have already downloaded and installed JDK 7. The problem is when I go to select it in the "File System" i can only find a directory named 1.6.0 JDK. Furthermore, the installation of JDK 7 skipped the bullet point where I would've selected the install directory, so I'm really not sure where it is. My java control panel says I have "Java 7 Update 79" so I'm pretty sure I'm close, I just need to tell android studio where it is. I also ran the java -version command in the terminal and it says my version is "1.7.0_79".
Any help is appreciated!

For new Android Studio versions, go to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin(or to location of Android Studio installed files) and open command window at this location and type in following command in command prompt:-
java -version
In Android Studio 4.0.1, Help -> About shows the details of the Java version used by the studio, in my case:
Android Studio 4.0.1

This is old question but still my answer may help someone
For checking Java version in android studio version , simply open Terminal of Android Studio and type
java -version
This will display java version installed in android studio
On a Mac, you can use terminal to go to /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home (or wherever your Android SDK is installed) and enter the following in the command prompt:
./java -version
