Cannot update JDK location in Android Studio

Question

I cannot update the Java JDK or Android SDK path in Android Studio.

To update the default JDK or Android SDK:

1. Open Android Studio
2. Go to Quick Start -> Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure
3. Change the JDK location

My problem/question:

The "Apply" button isn't clickable and if I press "OK" the JDK or Android SDK locations are never updated. Here is a video showing what happens when I try to update the location. How can I fix this?

Expected results:

Android Studio should update the JDK and/or SDK locations.

Additional info:

JAVA_HOME environment variable matches the location I am trying to update in Android Studio.

Android Studio 1.5.1 Build 141.2456560

Windows 10 Pro

Answer 1

There was a warning about the Android SDK location having spaces in the path. Once I moved the SDK to a location without spaces and updated the SDK location in Android Studio I was then able to update the Java JDK location using the steps outlined in the question above.

This may be a more common problem in the future since the Android SDK Windows installer will always place the Android SDK in a directory with spaces ("Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)").
