Gradlew : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0


Under Android Studio, I am trying to build my project. There is no problem when using the classic Build or Run button, but when I try to build it through the command, using gradlew build, it fail with the message Unsupported major.minor version 52.0. In fact every command using gradlew fail. And I need it to publish my stuff to Bintray.

I am already using the latest Java 1.8 JDK, tried to clear and download every library but nothing work.


Solution

  • Resolved. gradlew was actually still using Java 1.7 (which I could check with gradlew --version), even if Android Studio was correctly set to 1.8. I had to change the JAVA_HOME environment variable to a correct jdk and restart Android Studio to correct the bug.
