Even the latest version of Android are missing these classes and Dalvik (the VM in Android) doesn't support invokedynamic so a backport is required, not just for RoboVM. I managed to get Ensemble working yesterday on iOS with the jfx78 sources and RoboVM. But even this backport contains code which won't work on Android nor on RoboVM. E.g. I had to patch FontFileWriter to get Ensemble working (it uses java.nio.file.Files which is a Java7+ class). IMO the backport needs to target Android/RoboVM specifically and not Java7. A first step would be to make it compile with Java6.
