The compiler compliance specified is 1.6 but a JRE 1.8 is used

Question

My eclipse reported the warning that "The compiler compliance specified is 1.6 but a JRE 1.8 is used".

I have built my HelloWorld Android application using Java1.8, however, I got that warning and I cannot build up my project. I have tried to set the compiler compliance to java1.8. But I got another error that

"Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.8'"

.I don't know how to fix this problem?

Possible solution:

1. Right-click on your project and select "Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties". (if this doesn't work, try the following option)
2. Right-click on your project and select "Properties -> Java Compiler", check "Enable project specific settings" and select 1.5 or 1.6 from the "Compiler compliance settings" select box.
3. Under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler, set Compiler compliance level to 1.5 or 1.6.
