Hi! Is it possible to use Java 11 with Android Development or Do I need to stick with the Java 8 yet?

Kotlin?

I don't think Android will move much further than Java 8 at this point, but I could be wrong. Kotlin is most likely the way to go if you want the features...

Yeah, I know that... However I need to install JDK 8 in development environment and JDK 8 uses so much memory than the newer versions: https://royvanrijn.com/blog/2018/05/openj9-jvm-shootout/

Android has ART instead of JVM. I guess its optimised enough. @fcosta

Yeah, since Android 5 and in the OS. I'm trying to find a way to use a newer JVM in my development environment such as MacOS.

Doesn’t Android Studio come with a bundled jdk? What’s the issue with using java 11 on mac?
