Is it possible to use eclipse to develop android applications with api level 24+ (android N 7.0 and 7.1) and support for java8 features like lambda?

Question

Java

The most recent versions of android java support java8 language features, not all, but already lambda is good.
The problem is that officially support for android developer tools was discontinued at the end of last year.
Moreover, there is no native support for java8 even in android studio. In the compiler, you can add settings to the build.gradle file (in this case, this will only work on one, main, module and there will be no way to enable the jack compiler in others or globally), then normally in the ide itself, the java level rises through some kind of magic that I do not understand. ..
plus the compilation itself is wildly slow (it feels like something is connecting somewhere, but I can’t find the trivial gradle logs), after working with eclipse it’s just heaven and earth ... not to mention the beautiful features of automatic eclipse code generation compared to Intellj used in Android Studio
In general, I really want to stay in eclipse as long as possible, but I also want to screw the java8 compiler, tell me who managed to do this or show in which direction we could move to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Yes, perhaps, because the eclipse is a medium. What SDK will you connect such api and get. But my advice is to switch to android studio, this is the future IDE for android development
