After installing the android studio on my laptop running windows 8 it wasn’t able to start. The root cause: the java path wasn’t declared in global environment variables so let’s do this quick:
1 – Right click on your computer icon and select properties:
2 – Click on Advanced system settings:
3 – Select the “Advanced” tab and then click on the “Environment variables..” button:
4 – If the variable called “JAVA_HOME” doesn’t exist then click on the button “New…” and add a new variable called “JAVA_HOME” as showed in the picture:
5 – Fill it with path of your java JDK or JRE installation:
6 – Next click OK button to save the changes
7 – Now edit the “path” variable and check if it contain the route for the JDK or JRE “bin” folder:
The value of the path variable may be a little longer, so read it carefully, if it doesn’t exist then add first a semicolon ( ; ) and then insert the path like this:
8 – Finally click on “OK” to save it, and then OK in all previously opened windows.
9 – You should be able to start your Android Studio now:
Maybe you encounter another cause, but this was mine and I just posted how to solve it, so that’s all,and happy coding!!!
