Team Leader Android Developer Interview Question:

Explain me why cannot you run standard Java bytecode on Android?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Android uses Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) which requires a special bytecode. First of all, we have to convert Java class files into Dalvik Executable files using an Android tool called “dx”. In normal circumstances, developers will not be using this tool directly and build tools will care for the generation of DVM compatible files.
