IONIC CAPACITOR COPY and then i open Android Studio and run the project, it run fine.
But when, from Rider, i launch IONIC CAPACITOR ANDROID RUN and select my device i have this error:

I need to run from Rider to have the capabilities of live debug to see the modified code

looks like it’s trying to use java 8 but gradle 7 requires java 11
but not sure how you can configure your app to use java 11 in that IDE

Flaterik · February 24, 2023, 11:00am

I’m using Java 11 on Android Studio Config like this:

The strange is that if i launch the project direct inside Android Studio it works

julio-ionic · February 24, 2023, 12:50pm

It’s not strange, Android Studio is configured to use java 11 as you have shown in the screenshot, so it works there, but the other IDE you use is not respecting that configuration and using java 8.

Make sure you have the JAVA_HOME variable set and pointing to a java 11 installation.

My JAVA_HOME point at my JRE and this is the latest version available.
JAVA 11 maybe is about JDK ?
So i imagine i can’t point my JAVA_HOME to JDK

julio-ionic · February 24, 2023, 1:27pm

you can point JAVA_HOME to the JDK

EDIT

It works!

Thank you so much!

I just started ionic for Vue which generates Android via capacitor and it will automatically start Android Studio with an Android app. i just had Android Studio use JDK 18 that I had installed. My Java_Home uses a different version of Java so by default I was on the wrong version. For me I do Java, Python on the same machine and I end up using so many versions of Java. On projects with clients I often switch Java versions depending the apps on the many tasks which is very annoying but a way of life with things that do Java.
