Understanding the Supplied JavaHome Seems to be Invalid Error
The error is caused because we are missing an executable. This can be confirmed by navigating to the provided path given by the error message. Once we navigate to this path C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin using File Explorer, we will find that the Java executable is missing.
However, if we navigate to the Android Studio directory you will see that we also have a jbr directory.
If we open the jbr directory and afterward open the bin directory you will see a Java executable file (java.exe).
This is the executable we need, so now we to make sure that the IDE can find it.
Solving the Supplied JavaHome Seems to be Invalid Error
First of all, let us delete the jre directory, because we want to use the jbr directory instead.

Now when you build your Android or Flutter application again, you will see that the build succeeds.
