Is Java 8 New Date API available in Android N?

Question

Will Android N support Java 8 Date/Time API?

As this Android blog said: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2016/03/first-preview-of-android-n-developer.html

Improved Java 8 language support - We’re excited to bring Java 8 language features to Android. With Android's Jack compiler, you can now use many popular Java 8 language features, including lambdas and more, on Android versions as far back as Gingerbread. The new features help reduce boilerplate code. For example, lambdas can replace anonymous inner classes when providing event listeners. Some Java 8 language features --like default and static methods, streams, and functional interfaces -- are also now available on N and above. With Jack, we’re looking forward to tracking the Java language more closely while maintaining backward compatibility.

Yes, lambda expression supported. What about Java 8 New Date/Time API?

Any ideas?

Thank you!
