Install any 'terminal' app on phone to be able to run javac & java commands on it. If you need an IDE to code and run programs install AIDE as written by ValentinHacker

Yes on AIDE...and Terminal IDE (a fantastic terminal with optional Android dev tools)...or overboard a bit: You can install Deploy Linux and a VNC viewer if you have the phone resources to spare and *really* need computer-like behavior. Keep in mind it's ARM, there's no initd (so nginx works but Apache might not)...but it's Linux (local root, not phone root) then you can JDK all you want.

@Neeraj, unfortunately jdk is not installed on the android phones. They comes with installed shell and bash only. @Cornelius, I'm using AIDE, QPython3, QLua and others apps on my android phone. They are really helpful for studying by practicing.

@Neeraj, yes. As I mentioned I have an android phone. There is no javac compiler and JVM installed on it by the manufacturer. The logic is that the device is designed to be used as a phone, not for coding. The rich part of the world looking for a shiny, stylish phone, not a pocket computer. So putting a jdk to it it's just a waste of space.
