- pjmlp 10y agoDepends how much one enjoys using an outdated dialect of the language and libraries, after Java 6, Android only gets support for Java 7 and 8 features cherry picked by the Android team, not 100% of them. One reason why they backtracked on Jake and Jill was that they weren't being able to make all the annotation tooling and bytecode manipulation libraries work on the new toolchain.
- ausjke 10y agohope Android will support java8,java9 along the way and fully sync-up with the new languages.
