just curious
What version of Java do you put when developing Android?

[Frank Bouwens]

Docs seems to mention the following:
Android 14 (API 34) - Java 17
Android 13 (API 33) and lower - Java 11

https://developer.android.com/build/jdks#compileSdk

[Giorgi]

is there any difference with java 21? I have also tried but seems same as 17

[ritesh]

there were some benefits with R8 perf.. IIRC
