Seems that you will not able to use Java 1.8 at android projects in Eclipse, take a look what documention says:

Support for Java 8 language features requires a new compiler called Jack. Jack is supported only on Android Studio 2.1 and higher. So if you want to use Java 8 language features, you need to use Android Studio 2.1 to build your app.

You don’t have to do anything differently to use Jack — just use your standard makefile commands to compile the tree or your project. Jack is the default Android build toolchain for M.

To install Android Studio: Android Studio - The Official IDE for Android

To import your project: Import Eclipse Projects to Android Studio
