Im what you might call a trainee android developer working with java and i might have found a sollution for java8 on android. Well, here i go:
step 1. download jdk-8u66-linux-i586.tar.gz it should be under the linux category
step 2. Extract the tar.gz with the Rar app for android. or use a computer.
step 3. locate the extracted copy of the archive
step 4. go to:
jdk-8u66-linux-i586/jdk1.8.0_66/jre/lib/
step 5. there should be a file names rt.jar
rt.jar includes the entire directory for java8 and all class files. most likely an API
THINGS TO NOTE:
1. if you are developing code on a android and not a computer(like i am) you may see some class files twice in your IDE.
2. to my knowledge, i am not quite sure everything will work the same as if on a linux computer.
thank you for taking your time to read this.
sorry if i post this under wrong category, completely new to forums!
