java - 'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to compile

itemprop="text">

I use Android Studio and recently got
the error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

compileSdkVersion 'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to
compile.

But
I have JDK 1.8 installed
already:

:\Users..>java -version
java version "1.8.0_91" Java(TM) SE
Runtime
Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b15) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server
VM
(build 25.91-b15, mixed
mode)

How to fix
it? Thanks

In Android
Studio open:
File > Project
Structure > see if JDK location points to your JDK 1.8
directory.

Note:
you can use compileSdkVersion 24
