I'm trying to compile a project using java 8.
I've set the correct jdk as shown in the image:
Also changed the target version:
But I still got the error: compileSdkVersion 'android-24' requires JDK 1.8 or later to compile.
Where am I wrong?
EDIT: I'm on Ubuntu 12.04
When goes to JDK setting you can:
add in "android app" module build.gradle
compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } setup sdk path in gradle.properties
org.gradle.java.home=/path_to_java_sdk_8/jdk1.8 check also .idea/modules/compiler.xml against 1.7/1.8
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project version="4"> <component name="CompilerConfiguration"> ... <bytecodeTargetLevel target="1.8"> <module name="app" target="1.7" /> </bytecodeTargetLevel> </component> and misc.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project version="4"> .... <component name="ProjectRootManager" version="2" languageLevel="JDK_1_7" default="false" assert-keyword="true" jdk-15="true" project-jdk-name="1.8" project-jdk-type="JavaSDK"> <output url="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/build/classes" /> </component> <component name="ProjectType"> <option name="id" value="Android" /> </component> </project> BTW: if you want compile against java 1.8 you need to use "jack" see https://source.android.com/source/jack.html
