Android supports 100% of Java 7, and with a new compiler ("Jack") it supports most of Java 8. For an average Java developer, it is absolutely a completely vanilla Java experience, and Android developers can pull in virtually any mainstream Java project or code with ease.

The root claim is utter nonsense. This whole submission is just garbage -- a developer who is terrible at Android "retires" from it. The world doesn't care.
