Android is a Java variant.  I don't think it was ever intended to run
off-the-shelf Java Apps.  From the quick exploration I did, it does
not even support AWT, SWT or Swing. 

It would probably be safest to think of it as in the Java family, and
marvel every time you find they work identically.

Politicians complain that Kindles and iBooks are killing jobs by 
destroying the paper book industry.  I see it that they have create a way 
to produce books for less than a third the cost without destroying forests 
and emitting greenhouse gases in the process.  They have created wealth.  
They are encouraging literacy and cutting the costs of education.
