Not necessarily: - Future Android versions may be compatible with Java 8, but that would prevent you from being compatible with older Android devices (as Java developers willing to use Java 8 cannot be compatible with them). - You can try and integrate retrolambda <https://github.com/orfjackal/retrolambda> into the build system but some constructs from Java 8 would still not be available, and it would require a careful observation of which Java 8 bytecode are used by the Scala compiler.
