Pipelines requiring Java 11 for Android project

[Sune Johansson]

Hi there,

When I run a pipeline for an Android project I get this error in the pipeline log:

> Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.

I'm using this image: 

androidsdk/android-29

How do I fix this issue?

G'day Sune,

Welcome to the Bitbucket Cloud Community! :)

I have downloaded and ran this same version of the androidsdk image in my own Docker and can see when running the java -version command that this particular image is bundled with Java 1.8 (also known as Java 8).

I checked Dockerhub and found that there is a newer version of the androidsdk, when I have ran that same command in Docker I can see that this image comes bundled with Java 11:
https://hub.docker.com/r/androidsdk/android-31

I would suggest using this updated image instead in your pipelines build.

Hopefully this helps.

Cheers!
