Won't Android move to Java 8+ once they officially adopt OpenJDK?

No idea.

They have included parts of OpenJDK 7, that is about it.

Just use Scala 2.11 then. The only difference between the two versions is how they compile to bytecode, with 2.12 taking advantage of new JVM developments brought by Java 8.
