Stay tuned to this post (there’s a dropdown to “watch” this topic below) or the GitHub Issue to see when these staging images are available. This will be our staging images though so my suggestion is to simply use them to test your CI builds for Java v11 support, not as production images to stay on forever.

While not available today, we’ll have images you can use to test Android and OpenJDK v11 very soon. Considering we’re already in July, we’re going to stick with an August date for this change, updating the image August 17th.

Last month I posted a GitHub Issue discussing this change for August 2020, maybe sooner in July. AdoptOpenJDK has a great blog post explaining why they’re moving to Java v11 as their default as well. There has been a lot of people asking for a Java/OpenJDK update in the Android Convenience Image for awhile now.
