Not so long ago, the official release of Java 9 SE . He brought with him a lot of new features in terms of functionality, as well as speed, up to the compiler) There is a lot of things in it. Android still does not move to a new level of Java development, it is barely moving from 7 to 8. Of course, there is Kotlin and anything that has a slogan almost 100 times faster than Java ) But I want Java ) is it worth waiting for it on Android at all? It's about the 9th. Google did not find the official position. And in general, the search ended in failure, there is no info about it. Please do not judge strictly. Just like a java programmer, it'll bother me.

    Java 9 support in Android will undoubtedly be, but when, as far as full support and from which minimum API version is a difficult question, in any case you should not expect to see it coming soon. So, support for Java 8 (release - March 2014) was added to Android Nougat (release - August 2016) with some limitations. Accordingly, Java 9 can wait somewhere in Android R - pavlofff
