Does java 11 support android?

Question

I am new to android development. And I have installed eclipse, java 11 and android sdk tools in my computer. But when I try to build a project it says that to upgrade tools. But I have installed the latest sdk.

When I'm reading in internet I found that android doesn't fully support java SE and it mostly support for java SE 6 and 7. - but this was an old post .

I found that android do not support java 11 completely.

My question is, what is the JDK version that fully support android and do I have to install 2 versions of JDK s in my computer?

Answer 1

As official doc says:

Android Studio 3.0 and later supports all Java 7 language features and a subset of Java 8 language features that vary by platform version

so JDK 7 is fully supported, and if you want to use some JDK 8 features, you should Make the appropriate settings.

Here is the ref link for using Java 8

and android studio doesn't support the java version higher than 8.
