Issues with Android development

Unity Engine

Hi, so I’m on Pop_OS which is just Ubuntu 17.10 as the base. First, I’m trying to build and I have openjdk-9-jdk installed through apt-get. However, when I try selecting the directory where its installed, I keep getting this;

The path you specified does not look like a valid JDK installation.
Android development requires at least JDK 8 (1.8), having JRE only is not enough. Please make sure you are selecting a suitable JDK home directory, or download and install the latest JDK:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

I tried selecting the root, the bin directory, the lib, nothing seems to work. I keep getting that error.

This person seems to be having the same issue;

Next, I’m trying to use the Android remote and I can’t seem to get my dist and my note 8 to connect, and I keep getting this image;

Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone help with this? I still can’t build to android, here are some exceptions I get when I switch to android target

Any idea why the Unity editor won’t choose the JDK? What’s the path I should be providing?
