Which classes/functions on Java 1.7 are available/unavailable for Android development?

Question

Background

Starting with ADT 22.6 Android finally supports writing in Java 1.7 :

• http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
• http://tools.android.com/recent/eclipseadt226preview

It doesn't support exactly everything there, but the documentation only tells about one thing that isn't there, which is "try-with-resources", that requires using minSdk>=19 .

The problem

I've found some classes that I can't find on Android, and wonder if there is any documentation about which classes/functions are supported or not.

As an example for a class that I can't find is java.nio.file.Files . I wonder if that's because it's related to native code (nio).

Maybe some has changed their names/packages.

The question

Is there any list of packages/classes/functions for things we have on Java 1.7 that can/can't be used on Android ?
