It's already possible to use most Java 7 language level features and compile to Android (https://github.com/yareally/Java7-on-Android). It would also possible to reimplement the needed classes (which is only SeekableByteChannel?) in nio2 using some kind of wrapper on top of Android's java.nio. We could still use Java 7 / nio2 and then make a plan for Android releases.
