Technically we don't support running the Avian VM on Android, although it should work with minimal porting. However, we support using the VM with any of three class libraries: Android's, OpenJDK's, or Avian's. So, ironically, you can use Android's class library with Avian on every platform you listed except Android :)

If there's interest in porting Avian on Android, we could do it, but since it already has Dalvik/ART, I'm not sure there's much of a point.
