I'm installing the base Android SDK but it won't let me install the program unless I have the Java JDK ?

Here's the thing, I do have the JDK, I just installed it. My friend and I just thought of a great idea for a game and we're gonna try developing it, but I can't do that if it won't let me install the SDK. It specifically says 'Java SE Development Kit (JDK) not found".|||I also went through a lot of pain installing the SDK. You're going to need to set the JDK to your PATH variable. I'll walk you through it on Windows 7 (Vista or XP are probably similar).





1. Find "Computer" (May be "My Computer" depending) via file explorer, or the start bar, right click it and select "properties."





2. Select "Advanced system settings."





3. Select "Environmental Variables"





4. click "new" and be sure to name it PATH.





5. Copy the correct location of the address of the "java" file in the jdk bin directory, my address looks like this:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin


If you don't have bin on the end, you probably have the wrong address.





6. hit "okay," try again, and hope that this it the last of your worries... I know that when I installed it I had many problems further than this, infact this was one of the easiest parts...





If you need any further help setting it up, check this site out, it's the best: http://dougscomputer.pbworks.com/w/page/鈥?/a>


it says for linux but it should really help for windows also.





Hope this helps,
