9,010 PointsGetting java version on windows 10 confusion. Things have changed since this video.
When I installed Android Studio 2.3 on my Windows 10 system I never actually took the step of installing java myself. I just installed AndroidStudio and it automagically "Just Worked".
Now I go to find out what java sdk version I'm using and it's not there. Not installed. So how the heck is AndroidStudio working at all?
In my search for answers I find under C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\jre\bin a file named java. Hovering over it I get a little extra info telling me it is "OpenJDK Platform binary", version 8.0.1120.6
My assumption is that OpenJDK 8.0.1120.6 is the equivalent of the Java SDK 1.8.
Is this going to work? Or do I have to reinstall everything starting with Oracle Java SDK?

Treehouse TeacherHey Scott! I'm not entirely sure about all that, but it seems fine to me. If you're able to create/run new projects, then I wouldn't worry about it. Also, if you're curious which JDK you're using, go to File -> Project Structure, and then click the 'SDK Location' tab on the left and Android will let you know which Android SDK and JDK you're using.
