How solve this problem?

MacOS No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

I can compiling the project from intellij but I can not compile from terminal(iTerm)
I am getting this error:

When I run mvn -v java home path is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home/jre is it related with this? why does jre appear here?

Which installed JDK used during Gradle build process

See especially this line:
JVM: 11.0.1 (Oracle Corporation 11.0.1+13-LTS)
I was wishing to switch to OpenJDK 11. So select it as you can see below:
# alternatives --config java
There are 4 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command

* 1 /usr/java/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java

But there is no difference in gradle -v output. So I searched the web and find some ways (see here):
Editing gradle.properties file
Using -Dorg.gradle.java.home command line option
Editing build.gradle file
I used the first two ways. Both worked (to test I switched to JDK 8 and then run build task. The task failed due to some new features in my codes that aren't supported by Java 8). But the result of gradle -v remained unchanged still! Even using the second way:
# ./gradlew -Dorg.gradle.java.home=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_191-amd64 -v

So the question is how to check which JDK version is used by Gradle during build process?

You can add a task that prints what you need when executed (Kotlin DSL):
tasks {
val j by creating {
doLast {
println(System.getProperty("java.home"))
}
}
}
Groovy DSL:
tasks.register("j") {
doLast {
println System.getProperty("java.home")
}
}
Then executing ./gradlew j:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre
Why could gradlew use another JVM? Take a look at this script and you'll see that it uses JAVA_HOME variable to search for JVM. So probably the version from your PATH is not the same, that JAVA_HOME is pointing to.

I find an alternative way (except #madhead answer) just for when you use a Gradle daemon:
First, find PID of daemon by running gradlew --status (see here for more information). Sample output:
PID STATUS INFO
11432 IDLE 5.0
Only Daemons for the current Gradle version are displayed. See https://docs.gradle.org/5.0/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:status
Then use PID to find which JDK is used:
ll /proc/<PID>/exe
Sample output:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 0xy 0xy 0 Jan 5 04:03 /proc/11432/exe -> /usr/local/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java
On Windows:
> wmic process where "processId=<PID>" get Name, ProcessID, ExecutablePath
Sample output:
ExecutablePath Name ProcessId
C:\Program Files\Java\openjdk-11.0.1\bin\java.exe java.exe 11432

I get this error when using Intellij to build a Gradle project
anyone know what's up with that? Should I use Java 8 instead of Java 7?

'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to compile

I use Android Studio and recently got the error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
compileSdkVersion 'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to compile.
But I have JDK 1.8 installed already:
:\Users..>java -version
java version "1.8.0_91" Java(TM) SE Runtime
Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b15) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
(build 25.91-b15, mixed mode)
How to fix it? Thanks

In Android Studio open:
File > Project Structure > see if JDK location points to your JDK 1.8 directory.
Note: you can use compileSdkVersion 24

I have a same problem for days. I found a solution which worked from me on Windows. (I also set environment variables, but don't know whether it's needed.)
Add these lines to build.gradle file:
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
jackOptions {
enabled true
}
}
compileOptions {
targetCompatibility 1.8
sourceCompatibility 1.8
}
}
Source: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=203850

I installed latest jdk but it was using the older one until I did this:
app rt-click >> module settings >> sdk location >> (old jdk path)
Replace the old JDK path with your new jdk path.
Works like a charm now :)

Just an FYI I had this error with an Ionic project. All the commands came back pointing to the correct JDK and JAVA_HOME was set correctly.
There was an entry in my PATH to JDK 1.7\bin, replacing that with the 1.8\bin fixed it for me.

I was also running into the same issue from the command line on my Mac, but the answer was that JAVA_HOME was getting overridden. To track down where it is getting overridden first check java from the command line:
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)
Then check which version of Java that Gradle is using:
$ gradle -version

OS: Mac OS X 10.11.5 x86_64
At this point, I still hadn't found the source of the problem. Did a little digging, and found that it was indeed overridden in my gradle.properties file even though it was showing Java 8 when I executed gradle -version:
org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home
org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:-UseSplitVerifier -Xms512m -Xmx6144m
To fix, I just deleted the java.home line from gradle.properties. Hopefully this helps if anyone else is running into the same issue from the command line.

In Android Studio open:
File > Project Structure > SDK Location > Select jdk1.8.0_101.jdk > Home

I was also running into the same issue from the command line on my Windows, it shows the same hint.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. `compileSdkVersion 'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to compile.`
check JDK location in Project Structure.
In Android Studio open: File > Project Structure > see if JDK location
points to your JDK 1.8 directory.
It should look like
JDK Location
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91
I already set the correct location to JDK.
check the java version
D:\AndroidSelfTrainingProject\CustomBuildIdDemo>java -version
java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)
check the gradle version

JVM: 1.7.0_79 (Oracle Corporation 24.79-b02)
OS: Windows 7 6.1 amd64
JVM version should be 1.8.
To fix it, we can add in the gradle.property
In gradle.properties in the .gradle directory in your HOME_DIRECTORY set org.gradle.java.home=/path_to_jdk_directory. As for me, it is like:
org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_91
To verify if it is set right, we can make a gradle build task.
D:\AndroidSelfTrainingProject\CustomBuildIdDemo>gradle build
To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon
: https://docs.gradle.org/2.10/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has approximately 910 MB.
For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB.
To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M in the project gradle.properties.
For more information see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html

On Windows 10, I first checked Project Structure and it pointed to an old 1.7 jdk. I closed Android Studio then renamed the old jdks (and jre libraries for consistency) leaving the newest 1.8 library alone. When I restarted Android Studio and attempted to build the application it asked me for the Java JDK library and I gave the path to the newest 1.8 JDK library. On my system it was C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112.
