Android Studio: Failed to complete Gradle execution. Supplied JAVA_HOME is not a valid folder

So I recently upgraded from Java 7 to Java 8, when I opened Android Studio, the below message popped up

Failed to complete Gradle execution.
Supplied JAVA_HOME is not a valid folder. You supplied /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

I was like, “what the heck!” since I already had changed my JAVA_HOME environment variable…

Turns out I also needed to change the JDK location in the Project Structure itself of Android Studio.

To change the location

Open Android Studio
Right Click the root of your project
Click Open Module Settings
On the left column, choose SDK Location
Under JDK Location heading type your new Java location, in my case /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
Click OK button and you should be able to continue developing

By the way, same steps for Windows and OSX

Have good and clean fun!!
