title: will android java support lambda expression in java 8?
body: <p>I understand that the "java" in a dalvik vm is different from Java se in terms of API and architecture etc. But the syntax has always been the same. (Please correct me if I am wrong)</p>
  
  <p>Now the support of <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/projects/lambda/" rel="noreferrer">lambda expression in java 8</a> is about to be released, will android java follow it? did google or aosp promise on making dalvik consistent with java se?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Now as in Android 4.4 Kit Kat (API 19), Java 7 syntax has been OFFICIALLY supported.<a href="http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Using-sourceCompatibility-1.7" rel="noreferrer">Source from android.com</a></p>
