I am trying to code Flutter in Visual Studio, and run the emulator, but every time I do, I get an error. From what I understand, it is asking me to update Java.

I updated Java to version 21, but the issue is still persisting!

How can I fix this?

Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.
Your current JDK is located in     `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_161\jre`

You can try some of the following options:
  - changing the IDE settings.
  - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
  - changing     `.gradle.java.home` in     `gradle.properties` 

I updated Java to version 21. and I expected the error to be resolved and the build to run successfully without issues.

• java
• flutter
• gradle

• 3 It sounds like your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_161\jre, or you don't have JAVA_HOME set at all, and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_161\jre is first on the PATH. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable as the error suggests. – Mark Rotteveel Commented Feb 1 at 11:09
• 3 Yea ... when an error message suggests some things that you can try to fix a problem. it is a good idea to try them. – Stephen C Commented Feb 1 at 12:05

Try copying your flutter code to a new project check if it runs.
