Answer 2

no
android already has DVM (Dalvik virtual machine) which is an optimised version of JVM (Java virtual machine)

Answer 3

awesome thanks!

Answer 4

Hi, I have the same question but I don't understand the answer. If DVM = JVM, it's for running apps, and I need JDK to develop, can I develop on my Android cellphone?

Answer 5

We're focusing here at J2SE i.e. Java 2 Standard Edition, however for mobile application J2ME Java 2 Micro Edition is majorly used.

Answer 6

No marina, JVM is a part of JDK
JVM runs the programme, as DVM runs apps on android
