Installed Fire, installed Android Studio, cloned this git repository, installed JDK 11 (latest version). When building org.me.firstandroidapp.sln, I get this error:

I've developed iOS apps in Xcode using Swift, but I've never used Fire or anything related to Android.

Installed jdk1.8.0_191.jdk and move JDK 11 of of the same directory. The build worked after doing so

I ran into the same problem with the current latest everything installed (JDK 12, Android Studio 3.3.2, Fire 10.0.0.2389).

Since Oracle JDK 8 has been end-of-lifed, the simplest and most sustainable solution going forward is to disable any installed modern JDKs and install Amazon Corretto 8.

More ideally, though, there ought to be a way to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable when Fire/Ebuild invokes apkbuilder, so as to configure the correct JDK used just for builds with Fire, without affecting the rest of the system.
