android studio java finished with non-zero exit value 2

Question

I installed the java jdk1.8.0_111 and installed android studio in ubuntu 16.04 (32 bits), but when I run android studio I get the message:

Error:Process 'command '/usr/local/android-studio/jre/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

What should I do?

Answer 1

I found the solution. I think Android Studio was using 2 java compilers, one built-in from android studio, and the other the one that I had installed in order to install Android Studio.

In Android Studio, On the menu File -> Project Structure : change the default JDK location directory to your own, in my case it was:

/usr/local/android-studio/jre

and I changed to

/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_111 #path_to_your_jdk

which is the version that I installed.
