Update Android node to Java 8 and supporting Android versions #3

Closed lolocohen closed 4 years ago

lolocohen commented 5 years ago

What do you propose?

I no longer have the bandwith to keep the Android node up to date. In particular, the switch to Java 8 generates a workload that I simply don't have time to deal with.

This is a call for help. If anyone is interested, let's discuss it. I will be happy to provide any assistance.

What are the expected benefits and drawbacks?

It pains me to have to abandon this feature. Having it working again would bring back an opening of JPPF into the world on the most used mobile OS.

On the cons side, I don't even know if the current design of the Android node would still work on recent versions of Android, especially with regards to the dynamic class loading part and the permissions mechanism.
