I solved this problem by making sure that the value of JAVA_HOME was the folder location in English

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31

rather than the folder location that one can see/explorer browse in my Windows7 - Portuguese installation

C:\Programas\Java\jdk1.8.0_31

In my case  the problem was that a line feed had gotten into the setting of the JAVA HOME variable  I m not sure how  but I was mucking with it earlier because I had had an issue with an unrelated ant build that was using JAVA HOME  and I copied the path in    I noticed the problem partially when I did a  set  command from the command line  and it showed  JAVA HOME  on one line and the path on the next line  and a blank line after it    But what really helped was running the gradle command  It gave the same error message  That gave me confidence that the problem really was the JAVA HOME variable  and not the Android Studio install   To solve the problem  I deleted the JAVA HOME variable first  Then  when setting up the command to set the variable  I keyed in the path manually in Textpad  to make sure there were no linefeeds or carriage returns   Then I ran the command    setx JAVA HOME  C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 71

Most probably the issue happens because of the incompatability of 32 bit and 64 bit excecutables  Suppose if you have installed 32 bit Android Studio by mistake and you will be downloading a 64 bit JDK  In this case 32 bit Android Studio will not be able to pick up the 64 bit JDK  This was the issue I faced  So I followed the below simple steps to make it working   Downloaded 32 bit JDK you can also download 64 bit Android Studio if you do not want to change the 64 bit JDK  Right click MyComputer   Advanced System Settings   under  Advanced tab    Environment variables   Under System Variables   Add JAVA HOME as key and your jdk eg C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 7 0 79  location as value  Save it and launch Android Studio  You are good to go now
