Really? The last time I checked invokedynamic, java.lang.invoke, java.nio.file.* and many more were still missing.

It supports java 7 syntax. Invoke dynamic you mentioned is a jvm feature, which dalvic isn't one. I think the lack of nio is an annoyance that can be fixed tho.

invokedynamic is a bytecode. Not supporting it means Dalvik / ART can't accept valid bytecode.

Apparently not. A quick check also suggests that ClassLoader#registerAsParallelCapable is missing.
