tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 23, 2017 #2 No need to hurry up upgrade. Java 8 is ok ! Thank you NJDude!
aardsoft Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 17, 2017 #3 OK but what if you have had to remove the old Java version, as I had to to comply with my Banks security? When I try to use B4A Bridge I get the above '1.5 no longer supported.' I do not have the option to install an earlier version of Java. Is there a tme-frame for thos to be fixed?.

Click to expand... I guess you can install Java 8 JDK along with Java 9 JRE ? They are probably two separate downloads allowed

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 19, 2017 #7 The next version of B4A will support Java 9. However Android SDK itself (at least the last time I checked) had issues with Java 9 so Java 8 is recommended for now. Java 8 is not less secure than Java 9. It will receive public updates until September 2018: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
