CameraX camera-core:1.0.0-beta01 crashed at Camera2Config.java defaultConfig()

Question

Recently, I tried CameraX camera-core:1.0.0-beta01.

Gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.dryeyescreener"
        minSdkVersion 27
        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"


    def camerax_version = "1.0.0-beta01"
    implementation "androidx.camera:camera-core:1.0.0-beta01"
    implementation "androidx.camera:camera-camera2:${camerax_version}"
    // If you want to use the CameraX View class
    implementation "androidx.camera:camera-view:1.0.0-alpha08"
    // If you want to use the CameraX Extensions library
    implementation "androidx.camera:camera-extensions:1.0.0-alpha08"
    // If you want to use the CameraX Lifecycle library
    implementation "androidx.camera:camera-lifecycle:${camerax_version}"

Started from this sentence:

   cameraProviderFuture = ProcessCameraProvider.getInstance(this);

Then, when I debugged to Camera2Config.java

    public CameraXConfig getCameraXConfig() {
        return defaultConfig();
    }

It crashed at: public static CameraXConfig defaultConfig() {

    // Create the camera factory for creating Camera2 camera objects
    CameraFactory.Provider cameraFactoryProvider = Camera2CameraFactory::new;

I searched there was an application example by using Kotlin and camera-core beta version without any issue. But the codes, I used the Java version, definitely crashed.

Has anyone implemented the CameraX Java version successfully? Or did I miss something?

Thanks, Di

Seems the crashing issue from requesting Java 8. Added the following in build.gradle, then the issue was solved.

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}
