Android - Execution Failed For Task ':app:compiledebugjavawithjavac'

New to Android Studio + Gradle. I'm trying to run my app from the command line using: gradlew installDebug The app gets installed on my device only when I execute that command whe

Solution 1:

Setting the JAVA_HOME variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdkX.XX worked for me.

It was previously set to the JRE directory for some reason.

Solution 2:

Are you on Linux? What does echo $JAVA_HOME outputs?

I had a similar issue when running react-native run-android. After setting $JAVA_HOME (which hadn't existed) to a JDK folder, the problem was solved. In my case, I added the following line to the end of .bashrc file:

export JAVA_HOME="path/to/a/folder/with/JDK/jdk1.8.0_60"

and restarted the terminal.

Solution 3:

I deleted .gradle file from project root directory and rebuilt the app and then everything was working fine.

Solution 4:

For anyone facing this issue after updating to AndroidStudio-2.0

I previously had AndroidStudio-1.3 and jdk-1.7.X_XX. When I updated to AndroidStudio-2.0, things worked fine until I rebooted the computer. After reboot, I encountered this error and none of the above answers worked for me. Here's what I did:

1. Copied the project into a new folder
2. Upgraded my jdk version from 1.7.X_XX to 1.8.X_XX

3. Changed the JDK's path in the project structure to the new path:

   C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.X_XX

4. Gradle sync

And things worked.

Solution 5:

ALL above answers are correct. I just wanna mention that if you are using MAC, and the full path of JDK path should be

"/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home"

Do not miss /Contents/Home
