Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8, but i'm using java 11

Question

I imported a Flutter project, and when I tried to run it, I got this message error:

 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/home/omer358/FlutterProjects/MyProjects/ConverterNOW/android/app/build.gradle' line: 24

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
   > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.
     You can try some of the following options:
       - changing the IDE settings.
       - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
       - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 22s
Exception: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

I searched for some solutions, one of them suggested that I'm using java1.8 but that was not the case!

Solution 1

Is your place set up?

Is the gradle java version too low

   JAVA_HOME D:\Android\Android Studio\jre
   %JAVA_HOME%\bin

Solution 2

I got the same problem but what I did is that I deleted the android folder and run it again. If your are using android studio, in your terminal past this Flutter create . and it will build the android project using your specified SDK instead

Solution 3

The headache-less solution:

Just uninstall your (older) version of android studio, go to their website, and install the latest version. This should automatically update your java version to whatever your Flutter project requires.

Worked for me after trying lots of other methods.

Have you checked you Android Studio settings?

I"m using vs code

You may have then 2 java version installed and the jre maybe pointed to the version 1.8

I considered that too, I removed java completely from my machine and installed java 11 again, I also set the JAVA_HOME to /usr/bin/java
