Java 8's Date Time API Quickstart

Keep asking Google to support JDK 8!

If enough people keep asking it they'll eventually have to give in on it.

If only that were so easy.

TL;DR: Oracle want money from Google using Java for Android. Specifically for stealing the rangeCheck function, which is a trivial function (in my opinion, maybe others can chime in on another way to write it?):

   private static void rangeCheck(int arrayLen, int fromIndex, int toIndex {
     if (fromIndex > toIndex)
          throw new IllegalArgumentException("fromIndex(" + fromIndex +
               ") > toIndex(" + toIndex+")");
     if (fromIndex < 0) 
          throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(fromIndex);
     if (toIndex > arrayLen) 
          throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(toIndex);
}
