Having foolishly updated my machine to 10.11, I've doubled down by deciding to take another look at Android, for the first time in many years.

I installed the Android SDK 'shell', and then ran it to install the tools, and immediately said (three times)
    No Java runtime present, requesting install.

which caused a dialog to appear
    To use the "Java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK.
     Click "More info..." to visit the Java Developer's Kit download
    website.

I went through that dance, and installed Java 8, confirmed it was running etc; this made no difference to the android tools. Rebooted, same issue.

Googling locates a lot of people who have that dialog but are only looking to get rid of it, not to actually have Java working. (It also located an Apple page to install the "legacy" Java 6 for Mac.)

What is the cure for this? Do I need to install the legacy Java 6? Do I need to "Disable Rootless System Integrity Protection", even though Java thinks it's already running fine? Or is just not possible to install the Android SDK on El Capitan?
Yes, you need to install the Java 6 to allow Android deployment (that should probably be stated in a cleared way in the error message).

TIA,

Ben
