Hello all, What Ralph suggests does work, and this is what we have advised a couple of users to try, after they contacted us.
However, the problem with this approach is that it is quite possible it will break in the future. Moreover, using the Terminal/cmd can be quite advanced for several users. Taking these into account, as well as the fact that Google pushes people to use Android Studio, we decided to choose Android Studio as the suggested approach, since it is way more futureproof. PS: Using Android Studio will also probably eliminate the need to download a separate jdk from Oracle. The reason we have not yet implemented Bernard's suggestion so far - i.e. to tweak the IDE to use the jre/openjdk that is bundled with Android Studio - is that it requires some work to make it work seamlessly on all 3 platforms (Mac/Win/Linux), and usually we have more "pressing" issues to resolve. Moreover, Bernard's comments and instruction in the forums and elsewhere are very clear and easy to follow. But we do have this in our (long) TODO list.
