The official documentation can be found here.

Android Studio – The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable. Tried location: C:Program FilesJavajdk-17binjava.exe

I’ve been pulling my hair over this for 3 days now,

every time I run the command react-native run-android I get this error:

info Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag.
(node:10284) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency

I created my directory using basic react-native init projectTesting

My gradle is version 6.9
.androidgradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties =>distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.9-all.zip

My android studios version is Android Studio 2020.3.1

My java version is 15

C:Usersusername>java -version
java version "15" 2020-09-15
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 15+36-1562)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 15+36-1562, mixed mode, sharing)

C:Usersusername>javac -version
javac 15

I was thinking of using java 17 but in the compatibility docs it said:

A Java version between 8 and 15 is required to execute Gradle. Java 16
and later versions are not yet supported when executing Gradle.

any help would be really really appreciated!!

    Make sure of your JAVA_HOME Path in your terminal with

    echo %JAVA_HOME%

    Its a common mistake to have bin , while bin should be in the PATH the java home is only your jdk folder like C:Program FilesJavajdk-15 .

    Deleted the jdk-17 folder and then uninstalled 31 and 30 version of sdk build tools and this should fix the issue .

    Deleting Java17 SDK and C:Program FilesJava folder worked for me. Use openjdk11 instead of Java17 SDK

    The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable. Tried location: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_341binjava

    I was in a similar problem and you can solve it in the following way –> Go to Disk C, Find the java folder in android and delete the previous version of jdk by default it comes with 1.8
    C:Program FilesJava for Reac native version 11 of jdk is recommended.

    I faced the problem as I have multiple sdks, e.g 1.8 inside my java folder along with java 11. Deleted other jdks except 11 worked for me.

    just open the program files folder and navigate to the android folder then open the android folder and then cut all the file from jbr folder to jre folder make to replace all the file when you paste the cut files from the jbr folder i think this will surely work for all .
