Remember, you can also use any language that compiles to Java bytecode on a JVM. A short list includes Scala, Clojure, Ruby, Python, Groovy and even Javascript(via Rhino). So the JVM and Java are very much separate things.

Unfortunately, the Dalvik VM and JVM are quite different too. Dalvik may act like a JVM and talk like a JVM but it isn't a JVM (not according to Google, at least; Oracle thinks otherwise).
