Invalid Gradle JDK configuration found. Open Gradle Settings

Question

I'm trying to integrate Jetpack Compose in my project with Android Studio 4.2 and I am getting the following error in the IDE:

Invalid Gradle JDK configuration found. Open Gradle Settings

I also checked the settings below:

• Android gradle plugin version: 4.2.0-alpha01
• Gradle version: 6.5-rc-1

app/build.gradle:

composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerVersion "1.3.70-dev-withExperimentalGoogleExtensions-20200424"
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "0.1.0-dev13"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }

Any idea?

Solution 1

The IDE seems to use a value defined in the .idea/gradle.xml file in your project.

If in that file, you have something like the following:

<option name="gradleJvm" value="12.0.1" />

try replacing it with that instead:

<option name="gradleJvm" value="1.8" />

EDIT: This was a bug in Android Studio 4.1 canary/beta that got fixed in 4.1 beta 2.

Solution 2

I got this issue in Android studio 4.2 canary, and I had to delete those generated files:

• .idea/gradle.xml
• .idea/workspace.xml

then clicking try again to sync the project.

Solution 3

I also faced the same issue but for Android Studio Version 4.1.2 I tried below step and it worked as a charm for me.

1. Delete the .idea folder from the File Explorer/Finder.
2. Open Files -> Settings -> Gradle.
3. Change Gradle user Home to Project_Path/.gradle (D:/Work/Project/.gradle) and apply it.
4. Sync the project
