- frowaway001 12y agoIt will likely be necessary to use existing third-party tools to translate newer bytecode back to a version which Android understand. (Although I certainly hope that Google finally just deals with it and supports those class files by default in his dex/art software.)
- pjmlp 12y agoThey were pretty clear on the Android Google IO fireside talk that Java is Android's official language. However they refrained to make any comment about Java 8 support when asked about it. They went cheapskates by not wanting to pay Sun, it is about time they settle their issues with Oracle.
