Android在Android N正式支持Java 8。

特性公告如下，Java 8语言公告如下:

Improved Java 8 language support - We’re excited to bring Java 8 language features to Android. With Android's Jack compiler, you can now use many popular Java 8 language features, including lambdas and more, on Android versions as far back as Gingerbread. The new features help reduce boilerplate code. For example, lambdas can replace anonymous inner classes when providing event listeners. Some Java 8 language features --like default and static methods, streams, and functional interfaces -- are also now available on N and above. With Jack, we’re looking forward to tracking the Java language more closely while maintaining backward compatibility.

Android使用的Java是Java 6的分支。

从Android SDK版本19开始，您可以通过这样做来使用Java 7特性。目前还没有完全支持Java 8。

Android Gradle插件3.0.0及以后版本支持所有Java 7语言特性和Java 8语言特性的子集，这些特性因平台版本而异。当使用Android Gradle插件4.0.0或更高版本构建应用程序时，您可以使用许多Java 8语言API，而无需为应用程序设置最低API级别。

本页描述了您可以使用的Java 8语言特性，如何正确配置您的项目以使用这些特性，以及您可能遇到的任何已知问题。

添加这一行到模块LVL构建等级

compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion。VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion。VERSION_1_8 ｝

我想我应该发布一个更新的答案给那些寻找一些更当前的东西的人。

目前Android和Android Studio支持Java 8特性的一个子集。根据他们网站上的Android文档，谷歌说:

Support for Java 8 language features requires a new compiler called Jack. Jack is supported only on Android Studio 2.1 and higher. So if you want to use Java 8 language features, you need to use Android Studio 2.1 to build your app. If you already have Android Studio installed, make sure you update to the latest version by clicking Help > Check for Update (on Mac, Android Studio > Check for Updates). If you don't already have the IDE installed on your workstation, download Android Studio here. Supported Java 8 Language Features and APIs Android does not support all Java 8 language features. However, the following features are available when developing apps targeting Android 7.0 (API level 24): Default and static interface methods Lambda expressions (also available on API level 23 and lower) Repeatable annotations Method References (also available on API level 23 and lower) Type Annotations (also available on API level 23 and lower)

此外，以下Java 8语言api也可用:

Reflection and language-related APIs: java.lang.FunctionalInterface java.lang.annotation.Repeatable java.lang.reflect.Method.isDefault() and Reflection APIs associated with repeatable annotations, such as AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType(Class) Utility APIs: java.util.function java.util.stream In order to use the new Java 8 language features, you need to also use the Jack toolchain. This new Android toolchain compiles Java language sources into Android-readable DEX bytecode, has its own .jack library format, and provides most toolchain features as part of a single tool: repackaging, shrinking, obfuscation and multidex. Here is a comparison of the two toolchains used to build Android DEX files: Legacy javac toolchain: javac (.java → .class) → dx (.class → .dex) New Jack toolchain: Jack (.java → .jack → .dex)
