Android supports Java 7 since October 2013.

  Really? The last time I checked invokedynamic, java.lang.invoke, java.nio.file.* and many more were still missing.

    It supports java 7 syntax. Invoke dynamic you mentioned is a jvm feature, which dalvic isn't one. I think the lack of nio is an annoyance that can be fixed tho.

      > It supports java 7 syntax. Invoke dynamic you mentioned is a jvm feature, which dalvic isn't one. invokedynamic is a bytecode. Not supporting it means Dalvik / ART can't accept valid bytecode. > I think the lack of nio is an annoyance that can be fixed tho. Apparently not. A quick check also suggests that ClassLoader#registerAsParallelCapable is missing.
