Problems building new Android project using IntelliJ
Answered
Hi,
I'm running a mac and have the newest java 9 sdk installed on my computer. I can compile and create java programs without any problems but when I try and create a new Android project it gives me problems when I try and build the project.
I keep getting sync failed errors when I try to build and the error is: The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable.
I've tried to uninstall java and reinstall and change grade versions. Nothing seems to work, any help would be appreciated.

Try using Java 8. In IntelliJ IDEA specify Java version used for Gradle here:
Thank you,
that fixed one problem but I seem to still be encountering errors. I ended up installing all android sdk's but that didn't seem to fix the new problem.
Did you install this?
Yes, it's installed.
Maybe your project is linking non-existing version of the appcompat dependency?
I just created a brand new Android project and get this error:
Try clicking the link to install it again.
I was able to disable the plugin and that might fix it, thanks for the help.
Hi, I've tried a quite a few things but I seem to be stuck on the problem below:
I can start the build process with all green circles but I encounter the following process.
This error is harmless.
Okay, thanks.
It keeps stating an error on the following line: 26, 13
Try reinstalling Android SDK from scratch.
Hi Serge,
I've tried re-installing the Android SDK but that didn't seem to fix the problem. one interesting thing I noticed when trying to reinstall the android SDK is the sdk manager seems to not be working correctly.
I do have android studio on my mac and I am wondering if it is conflicting somehow with IntelliJ? Can you please tell me the recommended method for reinstalling Android SDK from scratch?
I ended up having to go into Android Studio to try and uninstall and re-install the SDK.
Thanks.
You can make a new SDK installation in a separate directory and point IntelliJ IDEA to it.
Would you happen to know the steps required or have a link? I couldn't figure it out.

Hi Serge,
So I've completely removed all android sdk's and installed a newer version of IntelliJ with a December build and removed Android Studio.
Currently I can't install the android sdk required by IntelliJ to create an android project using the sdkmanager,
that is doesn't seem to be working correctly.
when I type the following command:
$sdkmanager platforms;android-26
Warning: Failed to find package platforms
-bash: android-26: command not found ] 10% Computing updates...
and that's all that happens. I've tried different packages, it seems like the command line tool broken?
Use Android Studio 3.0 instead of IntelliJ IDEA.
