The last time I looked, Java 8 wasn't available (and probably never will be?) available on Android, which is what this article is talking about.

Edit - http://www.infoworld.com/article/3180758/mobile-development/... it looks like Android is gaining Java 8 support now

No, some Java 8 features are available (https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features/java8-...) but streams are only available on Android Nougat
