Android uses Java 1.5 not Java 1.6. I'd strongly suggest keeping
compatibility at java 1.5e You would risk using a feature that is not
supported in Java.

Offtopic: Android uses the Java 1.5 class libraries from the Apache Harmony
JVM. Apache Harmony never implemented Java 1.6 largely because Sun wouldn't
license TCK to them under reasonable terms. This is part of the reason why
there is no Java 1.7 right now .. Java 1.7 is probably 12 months late. Most
of the other JCP members are (probably) refusing to support a Java 1.7 until
Sun (now Oracle) resolves this issue.
