Android API Level: 24 ?

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

we are currently on 21 - but,... w/ 24, we would get decent java 8 API support (e.g. java streams), instead of 'just' lambdas.

Of course, we few devices would be left out ... 

what's the thinking?

According to Android Studio, when you create a new project:

By targeting API 21 and later, your app will run on approximately
71.3% of devices.
By targeting API 24 and later, your app will run on approximately 8.1%
of devices.

8.1% is very different than that page (which adds up to 29.6%)

Either way, 29.6% coverage seems way too low to me.
