Ionic cordova run android error related to environment variables

Ionic Framework
1

Hello all,

I am very beginning with Ionic and I get troubles to set up properly the coding environment. I carefully followed instructions from an Openclassroom tutorial but when I tried to run my 1st project I got this basic error:

Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (recommended setting)
ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (DEPRECATED)
Requirements check failed for JDK 8 (‘1.8.*’)! Detected version: 12.0.2
Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT / JAVA_HOME / PATH environment variables.
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.
cordova.cmd build android exited with exit code 1.

I passed hours on different forums to solve it but nothing worked on my side even if the error message was identical (installing another version of JDK, changing environment variables, …). I am going out of ideas about it… Did anyone get similar issues and suceedeed in fixing it? Below are my info:

Ionic:
Ionic CLI : 5.4.5 (C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic)
Ionic Framework : @ionic/angular 4.11.4
@angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.801.3

Cordova Platforms : android 8.1.0
Cordova Plugins : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.2.0, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.1.3, (and 4 other plugins)

Thanks for the answer, I ever have the same exact 1.8 version of JDK installed as you told me but it is not working. Message error evokes JAVA_HOME variable environment so I tried to set several values but it is not solving the issue:

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_231
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_231\bin
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2

It is not either related to too long path because I am using default values and I created the ionic project at hard drive root level.

Any other idea?

Currently Cordova supports Java 1.8. But it does not mean that android supports only java 1.8. Just switch to capacitor … I am using java 16 with capacitor build with gradle 7 …App also somewhat faster than before and performance optimisation is good…
Refer Capacitor - build cross platform apps with the web for more details…Spending a considerable amount of time for App’s compatibility and durability don’t affect your development.Good luck…Happy coding
