java.io.IOException: Cannot run program CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified on android studio

Question

I dont quite know why this happen, my other project works fine, and this project was also fine before I added coroutines (and after my internet connection got cut off while my project was in building progress if this could possibly affect this too)

This was showed up on the exception:

e: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "D:\Android Studio\jre\jre\bin\java" (in directory "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\kotlin\daemon"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Log Error:

I appreciate any help, thank you

Answer 1

Follow the steps as below:

1. Check where Java files are saved globally. Check if that is JDK or JRE. Always use jdk. example, C:/ProgramFiles/Java/java_version/bin/java.exe

2. Next open gradlew.bat in your Android Project and edit the JAVA_HOME variable manually to the path obtained in 1st step.

3. Rebuild your android project.

Thus Java will be referenced explicitly.

Answer 2

Goto Files->Other Settings->Default Project Structure.

Under Platform Settings Select Android sdk...under JDK location change C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_40 to C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_45
