Java is compatible with Android.
Android does not need to be compatible with Java.

Someone told me to submit a bug report, and I probably ought to, but Oracle's
Java just doesn't cut it, for me. OpenJDK runs the two main Java apps that I
run (Minecraft and KoLMafia), but they won't run under Oracle Java. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Oracle sees a problem because Google has given Android to the
world to play with. I believe that if Google had used Android
privately on Google systems and not released the code, then
this lawsuit would never have happened.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

yeah while you can argue that Harmony is not Java etc I think what we are really
talking about is what the developer sees. A Java developer loads up their java
development environment and then selects the java library set they are going to
target. Android is now one of those options in their IDE.
Also another point towards the case that Android decreases fragmentation in Java
is that going forward Java ME can be depreciated as it has very little
functional use anymore. Then we are just left with three Java targets
SE/EE/Android (plus some small fragmented ones Sun/oracle made for edge cases
like cardspace etc)
