Sure, we could quite easily build unit tests as plain Android
executables, push them to the device or emulator with adb and run them
from adb shell, but that would not be a good test as the environment
would be completely different. They would run as root, and not
sandboxed. We have no intent to require LibreOffice code to be used
only on "rooted" devices etc.
Sure, we could quite easily build unit tests as plain Linux
executables (built against the Android libraries, of course, not
GNU/Linux ones), push them to the device or emulator with adb and run

All Android apps are basically Java programs. They run "in" a Dalvik
virtual machine. Yes, you can also have apps where your code is only
virtual machine. Yes, you can also have apps where *your* code is only
native code, written in a compiled language like C or C++. But also
also such apps are actually started by system-provided Java
bootstrapping code (NativeActivity) running in a Dalvik VM.

At this stage, the plan is that a LO Android app will work would

We have a top Java bootstrapping class
