@jw I've seen you often advocate for usage of

stdlib-jdk8

in Android, but @mbonnin research came to the conclusion that

stdlib

(not

stdlib-jdk7

) is often the best. I think I disagree since

Autocloseable.use { ... }

is quite useful for some Android APIs exposing it, and is part of

stdlib-jdk7

, but I've yet to see content

stdlib-jdk8

being used in actual Android apps, and it seems the best it has to offer is not used by Android apps because of ineffective way to determine runtime capabilities as ART isn't technically a JRE-8. If you can confirm what this article says, who can/should make the

stdlib-jdk8

content work on Android as it should? The D8/R8 team? The Kotlin team? The platform team, meaning only Android several years from now will get it? https://medium.com/@mbonnin/the-different-kotlin-stdlibs-explained-83d7c6bf293

stdlib

 (not 

stdlib-jdk7

) is often the best.

Depends your use cases of course but if not using anything from

stdlib-jdk7

or

stdlib-jdk8

, I don't really see the point of including them indeed

@mbonnin Camera2 API has a bunch of

AutoCloseable

classes
