Default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24

Question

Why do we get this error in Android Studio 3.0 RC1?

 com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: 
default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version          


        

Answer 1

I just found out that it works as expected when I activate the D8 dexer which is planned to be the default for Android Studio 3.1

In the project gradle.properties, add:

android.enableD8=true

Now the code compiles as expected and I still get the expected linter messages.
