Android Studio was unable to find a valid Jvm Related to MAC OS

Question

I am unable to start my Android Studio for Android development on Mac OS  10 10 1 - Yosemite

User · Answer

Java was uninstalled when I updated to OS X El Capitan.

See screenshot of terminal before and after I reinstalled Java.

To reinstall Java I followed this link that was provided in the Android Studio dialog box.

Android Studio ran again after the Java installation was reinstalled.

Change this key in the Info plist   I changed from   lt key gt JVMVersion lt  key gt   lt string gt 1 6  lt  string gt    to   lt key gt JVMVersion lt  key gt   lt string gt 1 8  lt  string gt    and it worked fine now    Edited  Per the official statement as mentioned above by hasternet and aried3r  the solution by Antonio Jose is correct   Thanks

I resolved this issue by changing the JVM version in the Info plist file to 1 7

On Mac OS X Yosemite just install   Java SE Development Kit 8  and  Java Version 8 Update 25  It s all  work for me too  like gehev said   so simple

User · Answer

Do not edit the plist  These instructions worked for me the first time I installed Android Studio a few months ago as well as just today   1 21 2015   All you need to do is a few simple things  although they aren t really listed on Google s website    First you need Java installed  this is not the JDK  it is seperate  You can get that from this link  If you don t have this it will probably throw an error saying something like  no JVM installed   Second you need the Java JDK  I got JDK 7 from this link  Make sure to choose the Mac OS X link under the  Java SE Development Kit 7u75 heading  If you don t have this it will probably throw an error saying something like  no JDK installed   If you haven t already installed Android Studio  do that  But I m sure you ve already done that by now

I was able to get it to work by editing the info plist changing 16  to 16   Tried using the recommended method but that failed

User · Answer

i m dealing with the same problem and i get it worked   it is probably that your jdk version is not right   now i installed jdk1 8 and it is ok now

User · Answer

Note that this last variable allows you to for example run Android Studio with Java 7 on OSX  which normally picks Java 6 from the version specified in Info plist      export STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 7 0 67 jdk    open  Applications Android  Studio app  Worked for me

User · Answer

You can implement the STUDIO JDK solution using your user s launch agents  This involves creating one plist file in your LaunchAgents directory  located at   Library LaunchAgents   Create a new file    Library LaunchAgents UNIQUE KEY plist  where UNIQUE KEY is just an identifier  I use com username androidstudio   Copy the following text into your new plist file and modify it according the instructions below    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt  DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC  -  Apple Computer  DTD PLIST 1 0  EN   http   www apple com DTDs PropertyList-1 0 dtd  gt   lt plist version  1 0  gt   lt dict gt      lt key gt Label lt  key gt      lt string gt UNIQUE KEY lt  string gt      lt key gt ProgramArguments lt  key gt      lt array gt         lt string gt sh lt  string gt         lt string gt -c lt  string gt         lt string gt launchctl setenv STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 7 0 71 jdk lt  string gt      lt  array gt      lt key gt RunAtLoad lt  key gt      lt true  gt   lt  dict gt   lt  plist gt    You will need to make two modifications    Change UNIQUE KEY to match your filename  without the  plist extension   Verify your JDK path is correct and change if necessary  I m using 7u71 in this example    This is the same underlying solution as Antonio Jose s answer  It sets the STUDIO JDK environment variable based on the Android Studio version 1 0 RC3 release notes  This solution uses the LaunchAgents directory rather than AppleScript to set the environment variable  As such it is mostly a difference in how your order and organize your system and environment variables

User · Answer

For those who were having trouble creating a script that launched on startup  as an alternative you can add this  plist to your LaunchAgents folder  This may be a more appropriate way of adding environment variables to the system since Yosemite decided to do away with launchd conf  This should also work across user accounts due to the nature of the LaunchAgents folder  but I haven t tested that   To do this  create a  plist file with the following name and path    Library LaunchAgents setenv STUDIO JDK plist   and the contents    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt  DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC  -  Apple  DTD PLIST 1 0  EN   http   www apple com DTDs PropertyList-1 0 dtd  gt   lt plist version  1 0  gt       lt dict gt           lt key gt Label lt  key gt               lt string gt setenv STUDIO JDK lt  string gt           lt key gt ProgramArguments lt  key gt               lt array gt                   lt string gt sh lt  string gt                   lt string gt -c lt  string gt                   lt string gt                      launchctl setenv STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 25 jdk                  lt  string gt               lt  array gt           lt key gt RunAtLoad lt  key gt               lt true  gt           lt key gt ServiceIPC lt  key gt               lt false  gt           lt key gt LaunchOnlyOnce lt  key gt               lt true  gt           lt key gt KeepAlive lt  key gt               lt false  gt       lt  dict gt   lt  plist gt    Then change file properties by running the following commands in Terminal   sudo chmod 644  Library LaunchAgents setenv STUDIO JDK plist  sudo chown root  Library LaunchAgents setenv STUDIO JDK plist  sudo chgrp wheel  Library LaunchAgents setenv STUDIO JDK plist   Notes   1  You may need to change  jdk1 8 0 25 jdk  to match the version that you have on your computer   2  I tried to use  jdk1 8   jdk  to try and account for varying Java   versions  but when I opened Android Studio I got the no JVM error even though if you run  echo  STUDIO JDK  it returns the correct path  Perhaps someone has some insight as to how to fix that issue

As a novice user it took me a while to understand how to fix this in a correct way  After searching and understating many answers on SO I came out with the Following steps that you need to follow to fix the issue   Please Note   Although the simplest solution is to update the Info plist of android studio   But it is not recommended and not the correct way to fix it    Official statement-  Please note  Do not edit Info plist to pick a different version  That will break not only the application signature  but also future patch updates to your installation    First Solution   If you run your Android Studio from command line  you can add these two lines into your  bash profile     export STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 7 0 67 jdk    open  Applications Android  Studio app   From next time whenever you open your terminal your studio will start automatically   Second Solution  If you want to run Android Studio from UI by click on Icon  follow below steps    Open script editor on mac one can find it in spotlight  Copy past the below line  do shell script  launchctl setenv STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 25 jdk    Note  - Change the jdk version according to your version  To check which version you are using open terminal and run the following command   java -version   3 Now save    s  as File format  Application  Finally open System Settings   Users  amp  Groups   Login Items and add your new application that you have just created    Log-off and login again or you can run that application manually as well     woolaaaa   Its done   References    Antonio Jose s answer  ruario s answer

User · Answer

Edit the android studio s Info plist file in the package so that it uses 1 7 or whatever JVMVersion you have installed  Changing the JVMVersion to 1 6  instead of 1 6  as hasternet answered above should work too   The above works but is not recommended see RC3 Release Notes      As of RC 3  we have a better mechanism for customizing properties for   the launchers on all three platforms  You should not edit any files in   the IDE installation directory  Instead  you can customize the   attributes by creating your own  properties or  vmoptions files in the   following directories   This has been possible on some platforms   before  but it required you to copy and change the entire contents of   the files  With the latest changes these properties are now additive   instead such that you can set just the attributes you care about  and   the rest will use the defaults from the IDE installation     see Android Studio failed to load JVM on Mac OSX  Mavericks

Update  This is fixed in Android Studio 1 1 https   issuetracker google com issues 37015035     In the next version of Android Studio  if no java 6 is found but 7  or greater  is found then it will use that instead  We still recommend running studio with Java 6 due to improved font rendering  but there is no work around needed if  for example  only java 8 is found       End Update   From Android Studio 1 0 RC3 Notes     As of RC 3  we have a better mechanism for customizing properties for the launchers on all three platforms  You should not edit any files in the IDE installation directory  Instead  you can customize the attributes by creating your own  properties or  vmoptions files in the following directories   This has been possible on some platforms before  but it required you to copy and change the entire contents of the files  With the latest changes these properties are now additive instead such that you can set just the attributes you care about  and the rest will use the defaults from the IDE installation     However there is no explanation about what options are   After searching a little I found this Adjusting VM Options for Android Studio on Mac IntelliJ IDEA 14 0 0 Web Help File IDEA Properties  However no luck with that   Fortunately I was able to resolve it on Yosemite using environment variables as said in the 1 0 RC3 Release Notes      You can also place use environment variables to point to specific override files elsewhere    STUDIO VM OPTIONS  which vmoptions file to use   STUDIO PROPERTIES  which property file to use   STUDIO JDK  which JDK to run studio with   This was a little tricky because Android Studio is not a command line application so I had to use a AppleScript command to set the environment variable when login  More info here  This is my launchctl command for the command line     launchctl setenv STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 25 jdk   And this my AppleScript  remember to save it as an Application     do shell script  launchctl setenv STUDIO JDK  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 25 jdk    About launchctl  see here

On Mac OS  run Android Studio with Java Runtime Environment  JRE  6 for optimized font rendering  You can then configure your project to use Java Development Kit  JDK  6 or JDK 7    This was listed in http   developer android com sdk index html under the system requirements for Mac OS X   Once you install Java 6  not the JDK  from Apple as per Alonso C  Licks  you should be able to open Android Studio and reconfigure as you wish without having to mess around in the terminal  info plist file  or other libraries

On Android Tools Project Site  there is a great explanation Mac OSX JDK Selection  It fixed my problem  In summary      Android Studio requires two different JDKs          The version of Java that the IDE itself runs with     The version of the JDK that it uses to get the Java compiler from         These two can be  and usually are  the same  but you can configure   them individually  And on OSX in particular  they will often be   different    and for Yosemite  Mac OSX 10 10  Issues      First  please make sure that you have the latest version of Java 6   installed  in some cases that has fixed the problems    http   support apple com kb DL1572      If not  try running a recent version of Java 7 or Java 8 instead by   setting STUDIO JDK as described above  That is reported to have fixed   the other problems  though you will get the font rendering shown for   Java 8 above

Open the application package for Android Studio in finder  and edit the Info plist file  Change the key JVMversion  Put 1 6  instead of 1 6   That worked for me    Cheers   Edited   While this was necessary in older versions of Android Studio  this is no longer recommended  See the official statement    Please note  Do not edit Info plist to pick a different version  That will break not only the application signature  but also future patch updates to your installation     Antonio Jose s answer is the correct one   Thanks aried3r
