Include instruction to use JAVA 1.8

Why

Running with JAVA 11 will cause the script to fail. The readme should specify Environment of JAVA 8 or any other JAVA versions.

Please ignore and close this if it's related to the first set up test only and the project is correctly generated with JAVA 11.

as of now, the generated project only supports JAVA 8, it has been a decade like this so it's a very common setup for android dev 😓

recently, Java 11 has been supported since Android Studio 3.0 in 2020: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin?utm_source=android-studio-2020-3-1&utm_medium=studio-assistant-stable#java-11

So the actual request is: should we support Java 11 from the generated codebase as well?

The latest java version is 16, so actually, it might be a valid Note to add on the Prerequisite anw 👍

@blyscuit Do you still have this issue? I tried on both Java 11 and 17, and I could build the project successfully. cc @sleepylee
