I came up with something from my last post. I just moved all my files and code to another computer. However, I have a strange problem; I cannot build the android project. Ren'Py looks for javac at $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac if JAVA_HOME is set. Nevertheless, my JAVA_HOME is set to JAVA\jdk1.8.0_51\jre for Andriod Studio.
How should I do this?
I feel like if I touch with that JAVA_HOME then Android Studio won't work anymore and I won't put ads on my Visual Novel if I wanted to.
Someone, anyone, HELP ME.

Why not set it to the JDK rather than the JRE?

It says JRE, but that's really the JDK. That makes AS work, it seems that Ren'Py does not know that. I even installed a newer JDK, Early Access version, and see if I could get this to work before I made this post. No success.

The JDK contains a JRE. JAVA_HOME should point to the root folder of the JDK, not the embedded JRE.

Can't you just go into your computer's settings and remove JAVA_HOME from the environment? I think the solution has been here for a while, but you do have to administer your computer.

If I do that how will I use AS for the admob?
That's the key question here.

I don't support the use of admod with Ren'Py at this time. So if you need to use it, you need to solve the problems it causes.
