Searched the internet and SO, but couldn't find the answer. any suggestion will be appreciated. i have set the JAVA_HOME path correctly. i have used studio and developed projects also using it.

Answer 1

Try this also

Delete this file : (Tested on Windows)

%USERPROFILE%\.AndroidStudiox.x\studio64.exe.vmoptions

(Keeping a backup of this file is recommended)

replace x.x with your Android studio version

The file is used to manually set java virtual machine parameters for android studio. Faulty configuration might cause the software not to start.

Answer 2

Very simple trick worked for me.Though JAVA_HOME was set, it was giving an error.

To make it correct, close the error message window first, then go to environment variable settings of the system, say Edit JAVA_HOME, do not edit just say save/ok. and restart the Android Studio.

Tada... its happily working ever after :) !

You have to try to rename .AndroidStudio2.x.
