Your assumption was correct. Google implemented it's own API in android that mimics Java's precisely. Oracle were not happy. Oracle v. Google brief

That's Oracle for ya... Thanks for the link. Man, that is really unsettling. I can understand why Google chose Java as the base for Android OS when they did, but it seems like it may be time to move on. I heard that in Go 1.5 you can compile native Android applications, so a sea change may be imminent (at least, one can hope)
