No you can't 'use' JDK1.6 When setting up eclipse, for example, you don't link your Android projects to any JRE. You link it to the Android SDK. If i'm not mistaken, the Android SDK adhers to the Java 1.5 language spec. But for the available packages, apis, etc, Android bundles all the java.*, javax.* packages. Consult developer.android.com for the API docs.
