Looks like I need to install higher version of Java? What will happen with my ADT Eclipse if I install java 8? Will it work?

I had some problems in that Android Studio seems to want Java 7, but if you download the latest it gives you Java 8. I can't remember how I resolved it--I think I had to download Java 7.
