Android support ? (Java 6-7 backwards compatibility) #9

Open caefree opened 7 years ago

johnlcox commented 7 years ago

This library is heavily dependent on the Lambda functionality in Java 8, so it's unlikely it will ever be compatible with Java 6 or 7.

@johnlcox Hmm I see. But there's retrolambda for android, for instance, so we have lambda support, we just can't depend on java 8 classes for now.

The internals and many of the APIs of motif depend on Java 8 classes.

@johnlcox is it a lot of work? Maybe I can help to rewrite it?
