    I'm trying to study and learn android programming. I noticed that even though android programming is slightly java based, Java apps do not work on android devices. This led me to believe that there is something perculiar about android devices or android programming that does not accept purely Java apps. My question is Why is it so? and also what is it about android devices that reject java apps. i hope you all understand my point

        No, we don't understand. Of the 45 or so apps on my Android phone that I wrote, all of them were written in Java. :confused:

          Android apps, are java, they use Android specific API's to communicate with the phone/tablet hardware and layout to show something, but out of that, they're Java applications.
