Apps Can I just install the Java SDK?

[David Devoy]

I, rather stupidly, seem to have downloaded and installed the java runtime on my new Windows 10 machine when what I wanted was the SDK (or is it JDK?? plus the runtime too).

If I just download and install the SDK will it realise I have already installed the runtime environment and skip that bit?

The JDK includes the JRE, and is what you would download from Oracle to do Java development.
Android seems to use the term SDK to be equivalent to the JDK, and encompasses all the development tools, device images for the emulator, and runtime stuff.
As I recall, when I downloaded Android Studio, all I did was hit the download button, which gave me everything I needed.

Cheers, I'll give it a go later and see what happens.

That seems to have fixed it.

Downloaded and installed the JDK and everything seems OK now.
