You can actually use Java 8 on Android. Take a look at the retrolambda project: https://github.com/orfjackal/retrolambda
There's also this handy plugin to integrate this in your building process: https://github.com/evant/gradle-retrolambda I also suggest using IntelliJ instead of Android Studio. It's tricky to configure AS to make it work with Java 8. So far I have tested lambdas, diamons, method references, streams, etc. and they seem to run just fine.
