Android N announced multi-window drag and drop feature, where we can drag and drop objects between activities. This is the video [this video] of Google-IO'16 where they show the demo (9:56). Do we have to do anything special to enable this feature in our app or we normally listen for Drop events (Assuming that I only want people to drop into my app from other apps ? Can anyone give a link to the code sample for this ?

It seems like you're not using the right API. Android does not support all JDK classes, (hope this [LINK] will help you to find an error). (Hard to find an error from your question. Please restructure it). if you want to use java 8 programming features, What you should do is to use the new jack compiler, to do this you have just to add this to your gradle file build.gradle "module:app": android { ... defaultConfig { ... jackOptions { enabled true } } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } } Refrences : [LINK] youtube : [this video]
