Android SDK is partially installed

I was facing rendering issue as below Rendering Problems Android N requires the IDE to be running with Java 1.8 or later Install a supported JDK But I have Java 1.8 installed. I checked Android SDK and its showing partially installed. Is the rendering issue happening because of that? I tried uninstalling and installing again but facing the same issue

In creating the project when you're asked for a minimum SDK and target SDK, The dropdowns will have both numeric versions and one alphabetical version (currently N). The alphabetical version a preview of an upcoming Android release, which is for delevopers to try out and test new features, while the numbered ones are the actual released versions of the OS. You want to stick with the numbered versions. There should be versions recommended by Ben in the video (though the latest target SDK should be 23), and they can be edited in the app's build.gradle file instead of starting a new project from scratch. (You should also make sure you download the target SDK version in the SDK Manager)
