Well, it looks like they really care about Java. But it's obvious that they are ready to kill it in exchange for something. What can they want which is big enough to kill Java? It's hard for me to even imagine... Here is good article on subject.

They are killing Java Posted Aug 19, 2010 15:10 UTC (Thu) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] A succulent piece of the smart phone market (and others to follow)? I just heard that a fourth of new phones sold are Android-powered right now, ahead of Apple and others.
They are not that stupid... Posted Aug 21, 2010 17:35 UTC (Sat) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Well, any success on this front will be short-lived. Google can not just go and drop Java-based development tools, but it can switch Android to C++ or Go in two or three years. Even if Oracle wins in court, it loses: it gets paid for these two or three years quite handsomely but ultimately it loses both smart phone market (because Java tools are eradicated) and Java market (because it becomes irrelevant).
