Which Jdk Version Should I Use for Android Studio?
Contents

A copy of the latest OpenJDK comes bundled with Android Studio 2.2 and higher, and this is the JDK version we recommend you use for your Android projects.

Which version of JDK should I use?

If you are just starting to code in Java, then use the most recent version. If you are using Java, then update to the most recent version. If you are worried about possibly running afoul of Oracle licensing or prefer to favour open source then download Java from otherwise download from the OTN.

Do I need JDK for Android studio?

The next piece of software for you to install is called Android Studio. This is an official text editor and integrated development environment (IDE) for developing Android apps. You must install Oracle JDK before installing Android Studio, so please don’t start this step until you have completed Step 1 above.
