How to Update Java on Android

Unlike Windows and macOS, you can’t update Java on Android smartphones and tablets. Without using emulator workarounds or rooting your phone and installing third-party apps, Java isn’t technically supported in the same way that it is on other operating systems. There’s no way to check for or force a Java update on an Android device. Any related updates are usually handled by the device manufacturer or the OS update mechanism.
