Flutter error Kotlin could not find the required JDK tools

Question

I first created a new flutter project.

But I got this error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'.
> Kotlin could not find the required JDK tools in the Java installation 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_261' used by Gradle. Make sure Gradle is running on a JDK, not JRE.

* 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 33s
Exception: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

I also tried this method, but it didn't work.

Solution 1

Step1:

I added the following line to the gradle.properties file

org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_261 your jdk version

Step2:

add the following line to gradle-wrapper.properties file

to the address => \flutter_app\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

Solution 2

I got this error when my JRE updated, but my JDK didn't. After I downloaded and installed the updated JDK, the error went away.

Here is a link to the JDK download: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
