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)

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.

更新2017/11/04 - Android Studio 3.0现在支持Java 8。Gradle-retrolambda现在不再需要了。参见https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support.html

如果您正在使用gradle-retrolambda，上面的链接还包括迁移指令。原答案如下:

Android不支持Java 8。它只支持到Java 7(如果你有kitkat)，它仍然没有invokedynamic，只有新的语法sugar。

If you want to use lambdas, one of the major features of Java 8 in Android, you can use gradle-retrolamba. It's a gradle build dependency that integrates retrolambda, a tool that converts Java 8 bytecode back to Java 6/7. Basically, if you set the compiler in Android Studio to compile Java 8 bytecode, thus allowing lambdas, it'll convert it back to Java 6/7 bytecode which then in turn gets converted to dalvik bytecode. It's a hack for if you want to try out some JDK 8 features in Android in lieu of official support.

是的。我们将很快使用Java 8 !

我们已经决定将对Java 8语言特性的支持直接添加到当前的javac和dx工具集中，并弃用Jack工具链。有了这个新方向，依赖于Java类文件格式的现有工具和插件应该可以继续工作。接下来，Java 8语言特性将被Android构建系统原生支持。我们的目标是在未来几周内将其作为Android Studio的一部分发布，我们希望尽早与大家分享这一决定。

Android上Java 8语言特性支持的未来

Eclipse用户:

对于喜欢Eclipse的老开发人员，谷歌停止支持Eclipse Android Developer工具

如果你安装了Java 8 JDK，那么试一试，如果出现任何问题，尝试在Eclipse中从窗口菜单→首选项→Java→编译器设置编译器为1.6。 Java 7也可以工作:

如果你的目标是Android 5.0和 更高。

安装多个JDK并尝试。
