Getting error in Android Studio 2.1 with java 8
Solution 1
I had this error too, and what I found was that the error itself was masking another compilation issue. Look at your Console Messages carefully and see if there is something else not compiling. Once I solved the underlying issue with my own code, this error magically disappeared. Hope this helps.
Solution 2
Try to use next values:
compileSdkVersion = "android-N"
buildToolsVersion = "24.0.0 rc3"
Solution 3
I think we are all looking mostly at the same answer. To be precise I'd say "make sure the buildToolsVersion = "[version]"
is the same as the [version]
in the error".
For some this will be 24.0.0
Solution 4
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

Here is my
build.gradle
fileandroid { compileSdkVersion 22 buildToolsVersion "24rc3" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.name" minSdkVersion 10 targetSdkVersion 19 jackOptions { enabled true } } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } ....... }
