The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable.

Struggling with the error message "The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable" while using Android Studio? You are not alone. This post will help you understand and solve this error step by step. Once you follow these steps, you will be back to working on your Android projects without any problems.

Understanding the error

The error message provides the path to your Java executable or where it is expected to be. If you navigate to this path C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin, you will find the executable missing.

However, by going back one directory you will see that we also have a jbr directory.

Inside the jbr directory, go into the bin directory and you will see that inside this directory there is a java executable file.

This is the executable we need, now let us make sure that it is being used.

Resolving the error

To make things right, start by deleting the jre directory.

Once that is done, change the name of the jbr directory to jre.

After making these changes, your Android Studio directory should only have the jre directory, along with the other directories that were there before.

Now when you build your Android application (in my case Flutter application) again, you will see that the build succeeds.

Conclusion

Fixing the "The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable" error in Android Studio is easy with a few simple steps. Now that you understand the error, you will be able to solve it quickly if it ever happens again.
