Answer 1

This also happened to me but using Dynamic Features. I already had Java 8 compatibility enabled in the app module but I had to add this compatibility lines to the Dynamic Feature module and then it worked.

Answer 2

Update your build.gradle(Module:app) add compileOptions block and add JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    .................
    .........................
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

Answer 3

As CommonsWare mentioned, for reference add this inside the android {...} closure in the build.gradle for your app module to resolve issue:

android {
...
  compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
...
}

Answer 4

You should use Java 8 to solve this, based on the Android documentation you can do this by

clicking File > Project Structure

and change Source Compatibility and Target Compatibility.

and you can also configure it directly in the app-level build.gradle file:

android {
  ...
  // Configure only for each module that uses Java 8
  // language features (either in its source code or
  // through dependencies).
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
}
