There seems to be some great confusion among some Android users about how Java works on their devices.
Apparently there are users who would like to runJava Appletswithin a web online window on their Android.
I thought I might write a post to clear up some of the confusion.
Here are a few questions Ive seen asked in various forums along with some answers.

Why cant I load a Java Applet on my Android?
Java Applets are built to run within web browsers.
Whats this JavaScript setting in my Android internet tool for then?
JavaScript can run native within a web internet tool and doesnt use many resources.
But doesnt Android run on Java?
Apps are written in Java and the kernel of the Android OS includes Java compatible libraries.
This doesnt have anything to do with Java Applets running in the web web client though.
It just doesnt work that way.
