Pretty sure it was Dalvik virtual machine that Java was compiled to byte code for before 4.4 when they deprecated Dalvik for Android Runtime (ART), fully dropping Dalvik in 5.

@fartsparkles @Sheltac Android always ran dalvik bytecode and never Java bytecode
The change to Art was just a replacement of the "VM", but didn't change what byte code was run. It's similar to how Hotspot improved the Java VM while also not fundamentally changing that it's running Java bytecode.

Thank you for the insight!
