Courses Plus Student 173 PointsAndroid Studio setup cant find the jdk?
I dont understand what is happening. i downloaded Java SE Development Kit 7u79, I "set an environment variable indicating the correct location", and it says " sorry we still could not locate a valid jdk, which we need to proceed".
the environment value is C:\Program Files\jdk-7u79-windows-x64.exe and the jdk is in C:\Program Files
what is wrong? what exactly do i enter so that the setup can locate the jdk? i enter the envirnment value where is says "browse". help me. thank you.

Courses Plus Student 173 PointsIf youll be patient with me..im extremely new to all of this and you just helped me realize some things. First of all how do i access the project settings? and i have to setup the jdk? i think ive misunderstood what that is... how do i set it up if i dont have the right program to? also what would i set as the environment variable? edit: i didnt "create" any project it just starts downloading and doesnt ask me anything

Courses Plus Student 173 PointsI take back what I said.`I thought the hxam was installed because it said "installed". I know now why that was wrong. but anyway its saying its not a valid windows program and wont run it. I've tried the hxam installation from the sdk manager, and the link you provided they both give me the same respone and will not install. How do I get windows to install the hxam?

Then you should be able to install it
