JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory

[abdul-razaq]

*ERROR I keep getting the error below when I try to boot up the Android emulator in the react native IDE.

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the 2024-09-14 15:34:47.193 [info] location of your Java installation.

This error occurs even tho my JAVA_HOME points to the right java installation and works well when opening my emulator in the normal usual way.

Environment

• Version 0.0.18
• React native 0.74.5.
• Expo: ~51.0.31
• Java version "17.0.11" 2024-04-16 LTS, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.11+7-LTS-207), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.11+7-LTS-207, mixed mode, sharing).

I have the same issue on windows, the env variable is working if I print it via powershell and cmd. But on IDE it always points to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr

What I did as a workaround is copy all the JDK files to this folder so at least it works, but it would be good to have a permanent fix

Actually, this worked for me. I hope there is a permanent fix for this as soon as possible. Thank you!
