Android Question Java 17 or Java 8

[makis_best]

Hi

I want to have a new fresh install of B4A.
I notice that Java 17 is available.
Can I use JDK 17 or I need to have JDK 8 as the instructions recommend.

Thank you

Follow the instructions as stipulated !

These are the only instructions for a trouble-free installation.
Java8 and Java11 can coexist on your dev machine (each one has its uses and pros/cons), but if you're unsure go for 11.

Just wandering if I am going to have compatibility problems using 14.
You say about 11, it is tested from you? or you mean openjdk 11?

I downloaded and installed what's on the linked page.
For a long time I had only Java8. Then I added Java11 as available on that page.
Consequently, now I have C:\android (for J8) and C:\android11 (for J11)
At compile time I decide which one to use, based on the project at hand.
