Flutter run error in location package "lambda expressions are not supported in -source 7" How do i enable -source 8

Viewed 271

I was importing location package, but due to it not being null-safe i had to change to the latest 4.2.0. All dependencies are null-safe, but the location package creates problem in running on android(both emulator and actual device). As showed in the error message below, "-source 7" does not support lambda expression, but i don't know how to tun it in -source 8. I currently use Visual Studio.

The error message is about lambda expressions in the location package

  (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)

This isn't quite a comprehensive solution, but what worked for me was deleting my local project and pulling from git again.

I also tried adding the below to my build.gradle as per these instructions.

android {
  //...
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility 1.8
    targetCompatibility 1.8
  }
}

However, that didn't work for me.
