I haven't seen lambda expressions in android before. Have you tested that this works on android 3 or 4, as this app supports API 11?
The java version the coding in the app uses doesn't have to do with the java version the phone supports, I'm quite sure (it just specifically states compatibility with 1.8, otherwise it'll just default to 1.7 usually). My own phone's (a Samsung Galaxy S4, AT&T (jflteatt)) java version is only 1.7 and it has no problem running apps that are built with higher versions of java. As far as I'm aware, I didn't remove any code that would affect support on those older versions, so everything should be fine with that. To specifically make the app support a version and up, you put in "minSdkVersion" under defaultConfig (example: my app's app/build.gradle).
Oh, I probably didn't state this, but 1.8 introduced lambda expressions, among lots of other stuff. That's why I was talking about that.
Ok, I finally found the docs that confirm that - https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support. Thank you very much.
:P
basically what the title is
all this comes to only about a 15KB increase in the release apk build
