Hey everyone can I double check that I am understanding this correctly (I'm probably not).

• I have JAVA_HOME set to /usr/lib/jvm/temurin-21-jdk-amd64.
• My terminal shows this as does the terminal within AS.
• However when I go to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle JAVA_HOME is set to the jbr from the Toolbox installation.
• It's the same value as `GRADLE_LOCAL_JAVA_HOME`: the jbr version.
Is that correct? And why isn't AS reading my JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly?

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04, have installed Eclipse Temurin 21 JDK, and am running Android Studio Meerkat Feature Drop | 2024.3.2 Canary 5.

Where are you setting JAVA_HOME? .zprofile or .bash_profile should be picked up correctly by Android Studio

[Colton Idle]

make sure this is also set correctly. mine was correct by default.

Thanks @Colton Idle, mine was set to /bin/bash rather than /usr/bin/bash (which is what which bash reports on my system). However changing this didn't help sad panda .

@kaeawc I'm setting this in .bashrc which should be read by .profile on login for me - I'm running Ubuntu Linux.

However, interestingly I don't have a .bash_profile file.

I've raised a bug, let's see what the team says: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/397903877

I also raised a bug on this a while back (like 3 years ago) in intellij i believe. one thing that also helped was that restarting intellij wasn't enough. i had to also kill and restart jetbrains toolbox because it has something to do with intialization as well

this might also help https://github.com/mdogan/homebrew-zulu/issues/16 apparently theres like some built in command for java home or something. i never understood it. lol

I've restarted my whole machine multiple times. Would that be enough?

[Colton Idle]

restarting your machine should be enough. yeah
