Getting error in Android Studio 2.1 with java 8

Question

Currently I am using java 8 with latest android studio 2.1

Here is my build.gradle file

android {
    compile         


        

Answer 1

you can try

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '24.0.0-rc3'

note the dash before rc3. This is according to http://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html under the section "Update an existing project"

I am using 23 just for the lambda.

the following link shows the Supported Java 8 Language Features and APIs https://developer.android.com/preview/j8-jack.html
