Installing Java for Android Build [SOLVED]

#1 Post by MrRogerSmith »

I'm trying to do an Android build for my game but the Ren'py launcher won't recognize that I've installed Java. I'm following these instructions https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/android. ... plications and I've downloaded the Java version linked therein. But when I try to perform the build in the Ren'py Launcher I still get the message that I need to download and install the JDK.

Is there something I'm supposed to do with the Java folder? I moved it into my Program Files folder and I've restarted the computer. I've also double-clicked the Java application file in the "bin" folder that was included in the download (nothing happened).

EDIT: Found the solution here https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments ... _and_jdk8/
I suggest these steps be included in the instructions after the direction to download the JDK.
