When running gradle with java 6 or 7, you must set the path to jdk8, either with property retrolambda.jdk or environment variable JAVA8_HOME

Yes,me too,how to fix it?

adding to build.gradle (app module):

retrolambda { jdk 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65' // Or whatever path you have }

install jdk 1.8 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html)
