Android Studio plugin doesn't work on AS v2.0 & v2.1

[AliH]

Project can't load if the BitBucket Linky plugin is installed and AS is updated to v2.0+.

Hello @alihaghnia,

Sorry about preventing your IDE to startup :(

I'm afraid though that the problem is similar to what has been reported recently — old version of Java you use to run Android Studio.

You see this error because Bitbucket Linky 2.x is compiled against JDK8 and is not compatible with JRE7 or older. Unfortunately, I don't plan to downgrade it because a lot of new stuff is used from Java 8 now.

So, there are two options for you:

• either run Android Studio on JRE 8 — it shouldn't affect project level or JDK of any projects you develop in the IDE, it's rather a version of Java that is used to run Android Studio itself, — so even if you don't want to use JRE 8 globally, you can just use it for running Android Studio. Check out STUDIO_JDK property described here and some Mac-specific notes in IDE JDK section on this page
• or downgrade Bitbucket Linky to the latest version on 1.x branch, which is 1.6 at the moment — you can download it using this link

To remove Bitbucket Linky 2.0 without switching to JRE 8 you can find and remove it's directory — should be something like ~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudio2.1/Bitbucket Linky (from the screenshot I assume that you are on Mac).

I hope this will help to resolve your problem. Thank you for your understanding.
