Android Question error in Simple Library Compiler

[sadegh.nordeh]

Hello
When I use Simple Library Compiler to build a library, unfortunately I get this error

error: cannot find symbol
new Thread(() -> {
^
symbol: method metafactory(Lookup,String,MethodType,MethodType,MethodHandle,MethodType)
location: interface LambdaMetafactory
Fatal Error: Unable to find method metafactory
Error.

And my Java version is 1.8 and I did everything but I couldn't compile it.

What is the path to android.jar under Tools - Paths Configuration?

I dont think SLC likes Lamda expressions such as the "->" expression in the code. I might be wrong but have had similar issues before with Lamda expressions and had to modify the Java code to do away with Lamda expressions.

@Johan Schoeman is correct. SLC, or rather BADoclet, requires Java 8 but Java 8 does not support lambda expressions so you need to recode them.

It takes a bit of browsing the web to convert it but it can be done.

One click on lambda in IntelliJ Ultimate.

Lambdas were introduced in Java 8. I guess that SLC sets the source compatibility to a lower version. I will check it.
