Re: Java Version

Show all headers | View raw

The language level is independent of the Android
Libraries. Language features along the code and
not along the interface are not seen in the

Android Libraries, since they are only seen as
interfaces. If you open an Android library in
my IDE, you only see:

public final class Class<T> 
   implements Serializable, GenericDeclaration, 
              Type, AnnotatedElement {

        Class() {
        throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
    }

    public String toString() {
        throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
    }

    public String toGenericString() {
        throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
    }

BTW: Same case with Java. So all that counts would
be only language features that affect the interfaces.
But generic types were already introduced

in JDK 6. So with JDK 6 you are on the safe side.
And some packages that are not in the intersetion
between Java and Android, 

you figure these out quickly.

The Android libraries byte code on the other hand
uses version 52.0, thats right. But then if you
stay in the JDK 6 for the non GUI

part, this doesn't mean I would recommend the
same for the GUI and Android specific part.
Maybe there you should profit from

the latest development.
