    It IS true! See the above indeed. In short - there’s no Java anything during runtime and never was.

      How would you define what’s “Java” then. The language used by source code, or the compiled bytecode, or the runtime?

        I don’t define anything, there are Java standards which define source code, binary code and runtime behaviour compatibility. That makes it possible to run Java apps on non-Oracle JVMs, use non-Oracle tools, etc. Android doesn’t have anything Java outside of source code. And even Java source code is not 100% compatible. It’s just not Java at all and never was. You can’t even use many open source Java libraries on Android because they are not Android compatible at the source level.
