Answer 1

Just tried to do it with Ubuntu 18.04 which uses Java 10 already. You run into tons of problems from invalid java certificates to extra warnings on gradle invocations etc. It's a mess and hopefully solved soon, you will find solutions to every problem via google but it's more easy to install Java 8 instead.

I have no idea about using the language itself inside Android application code, because i'm a full NDK C++ programmer and only use the toolchain which contains many java programs.
