Which version of Java is needed for Android Studio 3.5?


It's been a few years since I did Android development, but I want to get back into it.

Latest version of Android Studio is 3.5. Which version of JDK and JRE should I install first (if any)? Oracle JDK download page has versions 7, 8, 11, 12, and 13 listed.

I'm on Windows 10.


Solution

  • No pre-requisite install of the JDK or JRE appears to be required anymore.

    Tried this on a clean Windows 10 machine. Somewhere between the install of Android Studio 3.5, first build, and first run in the emulator, javac.exe and java.exe versoin 1.8.202 got downloaded and installed into the Android Studio\jre\bin folder.
