I think all Android developers are hit by this more or less, even just having to use the Apache HTTP client and XML parser rather than vanilla JSE stuff. It's annoying, but a small price to pay... I'd rather see a flourishing de-facto Java than a stale standard Java! And it's not unique to Android, I just had the same problem with BufferedImage on GWT and GAE is likewise having an effect on otherwise standard frameworks and libraries (i.e. Spring REST support does not automatically serialize a BufferedImage).
