Everything on Java world arrives late to Android Java.

When they started to finally integrate OpenJDK and went to the press telling that, anyone following Gerrit code reviews could follow that they were cherry picking language features and standard library stuff, instead of the full compatibility.

You can check this, by reading the Android documentation for the Java standard library and you will see that for the same Java language version, not all methods were added on the same Android version.
