I just downloaded the Android Developer Tools Bundle. I started following the setup instructions and gotten as far as extracting the files to new location (“Development”) as it says. I tried running the Eclipse app as instructed, yet a window popped up saying;
A Java Runtime Environment (JRT) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following location:
C:………\Development\adt-bundle-windows\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current PATH”
I tried compatibility trouble-shooter which can not detect a thing, whether it was the right action to take. I looked across stackoverflow and tried a few of the suggestions with no change. I looked at windows site and android site and nothing seems to make any difference, good or bad (well, I hope no bad).
I literally got this laptop 10 days ago and all programs are brand new, no updates or reinstalls etc.
I am running a Windows 8 with 64bit, which is what I selected at download of ADT Bundle.
I had downloaded the wrong java file.
To fix I went to;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html
and accepted terms then downloaded the appropriate file which I had to signup for registration;
Windows x64 90 MB jdk-7u7-windows-x64.exe
It worked without changing any PATH.
Thank you..
At first download jdk(java development kit) and install it. the jdk includes the jre(java runtime environment). You can also install the jre alone.
