Java 7 / 8 in Android? -
android great mobile platform, uses java (for reason) popular programming language. java language evolving, moving forward, version 7 small language improvements has years , next year comes version 8 awaited lambdas.
my question is: android run java 7 or 8 or take of constructs?
update: non believers: in android kitkat 4.4 can use java 7 goodies: arm, switch on strings, diamond,etc. yeah! hope not take longer lambdas , java 8 features
android works today java 7, according tools team, though have not tried yet. this, mean can compile android project java 7 compiler, , build tools accept java 7 compiler output. afaik, there 1 new bytecode added (invokedynamic
, or that), interpreters, not javac
compiler.
since java 8 not exist in final form, , since google not tend give out future details (particularly given in-flight litigation), know when rest of know, sometime after java 8 ships.
