Cordova unable to find JAVA_HOME

Question

I have seen so many queries on this. But none of these are able to resolve my issue. I am trying to build a Cordova Android app. But the cordova requirements are always failing as it is unable to find JAVA_HOME. The error I am getting is below

C:\Android-Dev\WorkSpace\myTFS>cordova requirements

Android Studio project detected

Requirements check results for android:
**Java JDK: not installed
Failed to run "javac -version", make sure that you have a JDK installed.
You can get it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads.
Your JAVA_HOME is invalid: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171**

Below is my JAVA home and path variable settings. I know a lot of people have asked to provide path to bin folder in PATH variable. But its still not working. Below is my system varible

C:\Android-Dev\WorkSpace\myTFS>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171

C:\Android-Dev\WorkSpace\myTFS>echo %path%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;C:\Android-Dev\SDK\platform-tools;C:\Android-Dev\SDK\tools;C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-4.4\bin;C:\User
s\SAHAA2\AppData\Roaming\npm

Is this related to access issue as it says Failed to run "javac -version", make sure that you have a JDK installed.

Any help will be really appreciated. I would have refrained from raising the question again as so many have asked before but nothing seems to work for me. Hence putting the same question again. Anyone needing any more details please let me know

Answer 1

This might be because of space in JAVA_HOME path. Replace C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1. 8.0_171 C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1. 8.0_171 with C:\\Progra~1\\Java\\jdk1. 8.0_171 C:\\Progra~1\\Java\\jdk1. 8.0_171
