I am currently creating a project on android studio and i have been having some gradle errors due to compatibility issues. i do have a java class in which some functions are just specific to java 8. The gradle error is long and I was unable to narrow it down to the problematic function.
**Q1:My entire project runs on java 7 is there any ways to avoid compatibility issues with AS without switching to java 8?
Q2:Can writing the java codes in an editor like eclipse (or any other you know of) help me reduce compatibility issues?**
Thanks
