Warning in Android Studio: Can be replaced with collect call

Question

I've recently started using retrolambda library to support lambdas in android development and I received the following warning from Android Studio:

Can be replaced with collect call.

This inspection reports foreach loops which can be replaced with stream api calls.

My code is as follows:

// mGeofenceList is a List<Geofence>
mGeofenceList = new ArrayList<>();
    // GeofenceUtils.GeofenceObjects.entrySet() is a HashMap<String, LatLng>
    for (Map.Entry<String, LatLng> entry : GeofenceUtils.GeofenceObjects.entrySet()) {
        mGeofenceList.add(new Geofence.Builder()
                .setRequestId(entry.getKey())
                .setCircularRegion(
                        entry.getValue().latitude,
                        entry.getValue().longitude,
                        GeofenceUtils.GEOFENCE_RADIUS_IN_METERS)
                .setExpirationDuration(GeofenceUtils.GEOFENCE_EXPIRATION_IN_MILLISECONDS)
                .setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER |
                        Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT)
                .build());
    }

Question: How can I replace it with collect call?

UPDATE: when I pressed alt+enter it converted code to following:

// method stream() cannot be found    
mGeofenceList.addAll(GeofenceUtils.GeofenceObjects.entrySet().stream()
            .map(entry -> new Geofence.Builder()
            .setRequestId(entry.getKey())
            .setCircularRegion(
                    entry.getValue().latitude,
                    entry.getValue().longitude,
                    GeofenceUtils.GEOFENCE_RADIUS_IN_METERS)
            .setExpirationDuration(GeofenceUtils.GEOFENCE_EXPIRATION_IN_MILLISECONDS)
            .setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER |
                    Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT)
            // Collectors cannot be found
            .build()).collect(java.util.stream.Collectors.toList()));

And now it says that it can't resolve method stream(), Collectors. Is it fixable? Can I add some import statements? Or currently it is not supported by retrolambda?

UPDATE: SOLVED, see the answer below.

@harshad, I saw that answer and it has nothing to do with my question. — Dmytro Karataiev, Apr 05 '16 at 04:50
@NonthonbamTonthoi, thank you. Now it says that it can't resolve stream, Collectors methods. — Dmytro Karataiev, Apr 05 '16 at 04:56
Android doesn't run Java 8. Not sure why the IDE thinks you can. You should change the Java compile version in the project settings — OneCricketeer, Apr 05 '16 at 05:04
@cricket_007, I added retrolambda (https://github.com/orfjackal/retrolambda) to the project and it allows me to use lambdas with anonymous inner classes. — Dmytro Karataiev, Apr 05 '16 at 05:07

Thank you everyone who commented under the question. Solved the problem with a help of this library: https://github.com/aNNiMON/Lightweight-Stream-API

Stream.of(YourCollection) In the Java 8 implementation you’ll see YourCollection.stream(…) instead. Either way an instance of Stream is created.

Final working code with this library:

// stream() changed to Stream.of( ... ) as per library specs
mGeofenceList.addAll(Stream.of(GeofenceUtils.GeofenceObjects.entrySet())
                .map(entry -> new Geofence.Builder()
                .setRequestId(entry.getKey())
                .setCircularRegion(
                        entry.getValue().latitude,
                        entry.getValue().longitude,
                        GeofenceUtils.GEOFENCE_RADIUS_IN_METERS)
               .setExpirationDuration(GeofenceUtils.GEOFENCE_EXPIRATION_IN_MILLISECONDS)
               .setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER | Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT)

               // Collectors works without prefix
               .build()).collect(Collectors.toList()));
