Android lambda expression settings

Question

I want to use lambda expressions in my Android project, I followed the Android guide to set up the Jack compiler and it did work.

However, the guide also mentions a known issue that the Jack compiler does not support instant run, and I found it is really time consuming to recompile all the Java files every time.

So, is there any other compiler that can generate intermediate class files, so that I do not have to recompile all the files every time?

Although it is not official library by Google, I recommend you retrolambda. I think that retrolambda is easier and more simple than Jack Compiler.

That's great. Unlike the Jack compiler, I don't have to recompile the project every time using retrolambda. – Tim Feb 22 '17 at 17:56
