使用最新android sdk 将jar文件编译成dex

最近需要一些比较骚的操作，所以需要将gson编译成dex。

因为手上有jar包，所以就拿出了android sdk准备一把入魂，结果报错不断，让人无奈。只好根据报错来调整编译步骤，不得不为安卓环境更新Debug。

1、dx变d8

并不确定安卓更名的原因，但找到这个只是根据名字前面有个相同的d，这对于不太熟悉更新的人来说，只能靠蒙。

并不确定从哪个版本开始，dx.bat更新成了d8.bat。而且在使用中，命令方式也发生了变化，这个后面再讲。

所以，原来的dx --dex --output xxx.dex xxx.jar命令，不能使用了。

2、jre环境报错。

日常使用java的人，我觉得大多数人还是使用1.8。

不过随着各种软件，及编译环境的更新，java1.8的问题慢慢出现了，也出现了各种不兼容的情况。

只是到目前为止，还没有更新的动力。

这次编译，报错了：

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/tools/r8/D8 has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.checkAndLoadMain(Unknown Source)

报错就是说java1.8太老了，带不动了。

所以，切换java版本，运行了，继续报错。

3、命令换了

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\gson>d8
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid invocation.

 where <input-files> are any combination of dex, class, zip, jar, or apk files

                          # assertion error instead of throwing it.
                          # The  is specified as a class name
                          # followed by a dot and the method name.
                          # The handler method must take a single argument of
                          # type java.lang.Throwable and have return type void.
  --thread-count  # Use  of threads for compilation.
                          # If not specified the number will be based on
                          # heuristics taking the number of cores into account.
  --map-diagnostics[:]  
                          # Map diagnostics of  (default any) reported as
                          #  to  where  and
                          #  are one of 'info', 'warning', or 'error'
                          # and the optional  is either the simple or
                          # fully qualified Java type name of a diagnostic.
                          # If  is unspecified, all diagnostics at
                          #  will be mapped.
                          # Note that fatal compiler errors cannot be mapped.
  --android-platform-build
                          # Compile as a platform build where the runtime/bootclasspath
                          # is assumed to be the version specified by --min-api.
  --art-profile  
                          # Rewrite human readable ART profile read from  and write to 
.
  --startup-profile 
                          # Startup profile  to use for dex layout.
  --version               # Print the version of d8.
  --help                  # Print this message.

最显著的变化有两个：

1、不再需要 --dex 命令

2、不能直接转化成.dex文件，需要zip或者jar后缀。
