Java – Collect NoSuchMethodError, stream() method when called

  public int getColsBy(final Collection<Room> rooms) {
    return rooms.stream()
        .max((lhs, rhs) -> lhs.right - rhs.right).get().right;
  }

I

tried to execute this code in my libgdx project, but I only have exceptions!

What should I do to use flows in my project?

There are things you can do. Android supports Java 8 starting with version 7 (Nougat).

With (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES. N) Surround your streaming API calls

public int getColsBy(final Collection<Room> rooms) {

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES. N) { 
      return rooms.stream().max((lhs, rhs) -> lhs.right - rhs.right).get().right;
}else{
      return "max the old fashion way"
     }
}

I

don’t like external libraries, and that’s what I do.
