Looks like gradlew commands try to run java internally, so I think we are
good requiring Java 8.

Just checked the docs and in the Android requirements we tell to install
Android Studio to install the Android SDK

Android SDK

Installing JDK yourself will probably be required if you just install 
the android SDK without installing android studio, so I don't think we 
should necessary **depend** on android studio, but I think Cordova could 
be smarter to look for a java install inside android studio.

I just checked my android studio install for linux, and I have a java 
install location at /jre/ and it is version 1.8.0_152

Just did a clean install on my computer and after installing cordova and
trying to run it's complaining about java not installed. We not just
require Java, we require Java 8, while latest is 13.
I know Java 8 is required for Android development, but the thing is,
Android Studio includes a JDK 8 you can use to run apps. I can run 
native
apps without any problem without java installed. Not just that, I can 
run

Cordova apps if I open the Android project at /platforms/android.

So, does it still make sense to keep that requirement and force users to
have Java 8 installed in their systems?
Is it required by the CLI or some command we use to run the app?

Not 100% if it is still required but this is probably a legacy 
requirement. Android Studio started including the JDK in AS 2.2, which 
was released in 2016.


I just checked my android studio install for linux, and I have a java
