    ART is the equivalent of a JVM. It doesn’t implement all the apis, the compiled bytecode differs, it’s optimized for mobile but that doesn’t make it not a JVM.

    That’s why the NDK exists: so you can build and run C++ code natively.

      Python VM is Java by your logic. If you don’t understand IT, you shouldn’t really talk on IT topics.

        I can use the exact same apache jars on my Android project and my Java server.

        That’s not Python. That’s very clearly java code.

        The implementation of the contract is different but that’s not the same as not being Java.

            You absolutely can pull the same jars into server and android projects.

            Sometimes you need a different one for Android to avoid NoClassDefFoundErrors but you’re totally able to grab a jar and stick it directly into both sides.

              The hell are you even talking about? You can’t even load a JAR file on Android. My god…
