The first sentence is "Android apps are written in the Java programming language."
If that is not calling it Java, it is close enough as to be indistinguishable to the average programmer.
Yes, the programming language, not the platform. Android doesn't run in a Java Virtual Machine, it only uses the Java syntax
Microsoft was sued because they certified the platform and it was incompatible.
Google/Apache never certified the platform to call it Java
