Android error messages are crap

[Andre Garzia]

Dear Panos,

When I selected the sdk path in Android Studio, it didn’t populate the JDK path. I downloaded the OpenJDK separately and placed it in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/, relaunched LiveCode and it was detected fine after that.

That JavaVirtualMachines folder was empty after installing Android Studio, it didn’t place anything there.
