This answer is for how to enable lambda notation support for java 8 on Android Studio 2.1
First you need to set JDK location to java 8 in under project structure -> SDK Location
Right now Android Studio 2.1 does not support lambda notation for java 8 but there is workaround for that.
You need to enable Jack compiler to support this feature Add android { jackOptions { enabled true } } in build.gradle file Also it would require Android Sdk Build-tools 24 or later. To download that open standalone SDK manager under sdk manager and download

you should check your
jdk location, you are looking at your android sdk.
