News: Android runs Java, as a language. Second, for the earlier vulnerabilities that made routine headlines, it was because the BROWSER PLUG-IN was configured to run automatically unsigned applets, before asking the user for permission, so a user loaded a URL and the browser plug-in loaded the applet. Newer Java runtime releases since Java 7 u45 no longer run unsigned code (Microsoft made a similar change to ActiveX a long time ago).
