I'm using capacitor to create an android app from a vue project. when I run from terminal the command npx cap build android I will get this error and the build will fail:

How I can fix this to test my app?

gradle 8 requires java 17 and you are using java 8

[realrecordzLab]

how I can update it?

[jcesarmobile]

what I do is to set the $JAVA_HOME variable to use the JDK that Android Studio includes, which in macOS it's at this path /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home, so it's java 17 now, but once Android development requires a newer version you don't need to do any changes since Android Studio will be updated and will include the newer required version.

Tried to set JAVA_HOME to use the one provided from Android studio, but now I have this error ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory when try to do the build

I've tried to install java 21 but the problem still remain. I will try to set java home to the default used from Android studio. I hope this as suggested will fix the problem
