Which version of Java JDK we should write programs

Question

I want to know which version of Java is popular.

Answer 1

You don't need the popular one, you need the newest one.

Answer 2

I have been using version 1.8 with Android Studio and it works well. I think they would always suggest the latest release unless your project or it's dependencies required an earlier version.

Answer 3

i think you should use the recent version 1.8.0

Answer 4

Just use the most recent one

Answer 5

they are preparing java 9 to be coming soon, so i would recommend absolute minimum of 7 but 8 is so backwards compatible (outside of lambdas) that just go with 8, most people that use java programs have a current JRE to use applications with the most recent version of java, and people who dont usually dont use java (explicitly anyways)

Answer 6

Better learn the newest version
