This is an issue I have seen posted before, but the solutions for it do not work for me. I am trying the simplest of tutorials on Android - hello world. But I cannot get past the creation of the avd. I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/sdkmanager/Main (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

I have checked my variables and they are all set correctly./ My version of java is:

java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Does anyone have any insight on how to trouble shoot this issue?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem...

Your windows PATH variable needs to be edited. Place your Java 6 bin directory at the front of you PATH and you should be set.
