great!!! like my friend says, now is missing just the java 8 :)
Is Java 7 already supported? I don't mean the syntax I mean invokedynamic, java.lang.invoke, new filesystem API, ….
Yes it is supported, but java 8 has strong improvements like lambdas and closure and default methods in interfaces, and the java 8 is still unsupported :(
Really? Lambdas require exactly 0 vm support beyond invokedynamic which is already present in Java 7.

The official documentation http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html lists one of the invokedynamic (java.lang.invoke) nor file system (java.nio.file) packages so I assume they are missing.

What little documentation I could find suggests that there is only source compatibility for 1.7 http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-gui... with actual invokedynamic VM-support missing.
