forEach lambda support?

[prashanthsadasivan]

Hey, I'm using this library along with the gradle plugin and I was wondering if this library supports the Iterable#forEach method? I know that it provides lambdas, but my IDE/javac doesn't recognize when i use the forEach java 8 convention. is this supported?

Thanks!

Hello @prashanthsadasivan
I have a retrolambda aware library https://bitbucket.org/mart_bogdan/collectionsquery/src which implements lots of useful functions to work with Iterables.
I've just Implemented forEeach method, but I haven't uploaded new version to Maven Central yet. Will do that soon. But you can download sources and execute gradle install to install into local maven repo, and then use:

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

I've released version 0.2.1 which supports forEach in followg way

Itragable iter=....
Queryable.from(iter).forEachR(x->d.doSomething());

I had to use *R suffix to make method not overlapping with java8's method, which isn't available in java <8

Backporting Java 8's new APIs is outside the scope of Retrolambda. However, you can use the various 3rd party Java libraries that have such methods, as mentioned by Mart-Bogdan (some other libraries that do similar things are Google Guava and Functional Java).
