Android Studio is giving me a warning that I should use Java 11.
I have installed it here:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.9.jdk
Can you please explain how I can configure Android Studio (or my app) to use it?

[Alejandro Rios]

You can set it up directly on your project(This is Artic fox)

In my Android gradle file I am still mentioning these:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile> {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8.toString()
        freeCompilerArgs = listOf("-Xallow-jvm-ir-dependencies", "-Xskip-prerelease-check", "-Xskip-metadata-version-check")
    }
}

do I need to remove them?

I did the setup that I mentioned before for one of the compose codelabs (Theme) also I updated the compose version to alpha08

[Daniele B]

so you also kept references to Java 1.8

Yup
