How do I resolve: "Error evaluating project ':app'.Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Question

I have tried to really research this error and I can't seem to find a fix.

I upgraded my android studios and I am receiving the following error:

Error:(1, 1) A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/build/gradle/AppPlugin : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

I cannot run a basic hello world program. I don't know if my gradle is messed up or if I am having java problems.

I am running:

Android Studios 2.3.1

Java Version 8 Update 101 (build 1.8.0_101-b13)

Windows 8

How would I go about resolving this error? Thank you.

Answer 1

在“项目结构”设置窗口中，在“ SDK位置”选项卡中启用了“使用嵌入式JDK（推荐）”

Answer 2

I had to go to File > Project Structure

In the JDK location, I had to change the path to: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_101

It built without any errors.
