I Have to add JAVA_HOME to gradle.properties every time I start a new flutter project in vs code! how to solve it once & for all?

Question

I am starting to learn flutter & by extension, dart.

However! every time I follow a tutorial & start a new project in vs code I have to go to the file called gradle.properties and add org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.9 or else I won't be able to run/debug!

Because I get an error saying I need java 11 while I'm using 1.8 which is TOTALLY not true because my java_home (& path) variable is set to java 11, which is the directory i add through the previously mentioned line of code.

Please, I do not know what to do, and googling is no longer helping as no result I'm finding is working. I need someone to tell me what to do to solve this... issue because I am sure something can be done once instead of repeating this process every time.

Note: I found on google people saying stuff like:

Set Gradle jdk path to java 11 in android studio

but I do not have that option.

Also, please note that I am still a beginner-level developer with little practical experience - Sorry if my question is, well, stupid.

I had same problem after updating Flutter. Try to check your JAVA version java -version (update it, if it less than 8). Then update Android SDK: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61434900/13506243

This helped me.
