Android SDK工具向导：检测JDK 1.7而不是JDK 1.6

Question

I am trying my hands on Android first time ever, so request you to pardon me if I sound too naive. I read on the ADT system requirements that it needs JDK 1.6 and also some of the tutorials it was said that ADT doesn't support JDK 1.7 yet.

I have both JDK 1.7 and JDK 1.6 ( also the JREs ) on my machine and I have set the JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.6. I tested by typing java -version and it shows me pointed to Java 1.6.

However, when I run the Android SDK Tools Wizard it detects JDK 1.7 instead of 1.6. I am not sure if continuing with JDK 1.7 would lead to future problems during development.

Please advise if this fine. Else, please suggest how can I correctly get this pointed to JDK 1.6. Note: I don't want to uninstall 1.7 as I need it for other development activities.

ADT supports Java 1.7 (aka, Java 7).

I tested by typing java -version and it shows me pointed to Java 1.6

Note that this is testing the runtime environment, not the development environment. Use javac -version to test what version of the Java compiler you are using.

I am not sure if continuing with JDK 1.7 would lead to future problems during development

That should be fine. I have been using Java 7 for the past 5-6 months without issue, albeit on Linux rather than Windows.

Answer 2

Here is answer to my question:

It seems the wizard was reading the JDK and JRE environment values from the Registry ( on Windows ) ie HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE variable. I changed the variable values there from 1.7 to 1.6 and it started picking up 1.6
