Answer 1

I had a similar java compilation issue with version (1.8.0_152-release) but mine dealt with assertion errors on Lambda method conversions. Reverting to java version 1.7 for compilation worked for me. You can update the Target / Source compatibility in the (Module) build.gradle like so,

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = 1.7
    targetCompatibility = 1.7
}
